Bingo. it isn't. Its a userspace compliment to the kernel.  Smbclient is a
seprate app too.

Dont enable wins server.  Dont make your election values super high.
Really, the election stuff bit you.  BUT, this also means that they dont
really have a PDC because it *SHOULD* have taken priority over yours
because the boxen *should* of had the DOMAIN selected... well. if they are
NT boxen. :P

Luckly the school I go to *knows* how to do this stuff. (University of
MN-TC) Very router/switch dependent.  Lots of subnetting.  Its *sweet*.

Good luck!
