Thanks for that, I did also post the message to the samba list and have also
been reading more about this and come to the same conclusion.
I have now started setting up samba as a NT4 type PDC and so far that has
worked, but I have to work out how to make the Linux systems use the same
login system as the Windows systems to allow the same users to access the
same data from both systems !

Thanks
