SAMBA PDC was GUI Firewall configuration tools

[Trent Shipley]

I want to network using SMB.  The network typically consists of a
Netgear router, three Macs and one Kubuntu. Sometimes one of the Macs
boots into Vista.  I want the Kubuntu box to be the PDC.

My recollection was that making a *nix box PDC over SAMBA involved
setting 3 or 4 configuration toggles.
