There is some (more) PDC support in the HEAD branch of the samba code.
You need to use anon cvs to access the source from the cvs servers. The
HEAD branch (last time I checked) is something like pre-2.1-alpha or
something. I was sorta using it but was having a few weird problems -
but that's what you get when you use alpha code I guess! so I went back
to 2.0.3 which works fine.
