A bit more difficult.
In order to explain some of the stuff you have to quote stuff from the files
especially the .POL file with the registry keys and settings. And there is a (C)
on a lot of them. It comes to be a "did you copy or you did not" which is hard
to win as an argument.
At least up to the last versions of samba 1.xx the samba team did not want to
get involved in the argument either so that is what they used to have in the
MS-DOMAIN howto (or something similar wich sounded like this). Sorry haven't
had a time to have a look at 2.x sources.
It may be worth to repeat the effort and write proper documentation again though
;-) I'll be happy to contribute if there is such an effort somewhere.
Cheers ;-)
