<para><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/samba/smb.conf &lt;&lt; "EOF" :</userinput>
Create a default Samba configuration file.  This configuration will
allow Samba to act as a Primary Domain Controller for a Microsoft
Windows based network.  If this is not desired, a simpler default
smb.conf file is bundled with the Samba distribution.  See the
<filename>samba&samba-version;/examples/smb.conf.default</filename>
file.  Primary Domain Controller configuration is slightly more
complicated than ordinary member server configuration, so instructions
for PDC configuration will be given here.</para>


<para><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba &lt;&lt; "EOF" :</userinput>
Create the Samba boot script, used to start and stop Samba
automatically on machine startup and shutdown.</para>

<para><screen><userinput>/usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c \

This command creates a machine trust account, necessary only for
Windows 2000/NT servers to authenticate to our new PDC.  Machine trust
accounts are not necessary for Win95/98 clients.</para>
