I am running samba as a pdc that used to have all 98 workstations. Then 
came xp workstations and now Linux workstations. I know I don't have 
samba right as far as groups and machine logins because I get alot of 
bitching like these now that xp is involved;

rpc_server/srv_util.c:get_domain_user_groups(298) 
get_domain_user_groups: primary gid of user [debbie] is not a Domain 
group ! get_domain_user_groups: You should fix it, NT doesn't like that 
: 1 Time(s)

rpc_server/srv_util.c:get_alias_user_groups(206) get_alias_user_groups: 
gid of user debbie doesn't exist. Check your /etc/passwd and /etc/group 
files : 1 Time(s)

So, I would like to clean up those problems and then do a group that 
could be cross platform (samba and nfs) that I could add users too. 
Suggestions where to start?
