Re: [TCLUG:4095] Samba netgroups

OK. I got netgroups to work. YEA!!!!

I just had to edit the samba-2.0.2/include/config.h file after I ran
configure and change 
#undef HAVE_YP_GET_DEFAULT_DOMAIN (line 658)
to
#define HAVE_YP_GET_DEFAULT_DOMAIN 1
and then make. I'm not sure why the configure script didn't work, but
I'm too busy to care.
