10.04 SERVER GUIDE PROBLEM page https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-dc.html

I have really struggled with setting up samba as a domain controller and
it would have been a huge help to have the following information
available at 
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-dc.html 

Under step 7
Comment that rights need to be explicitly provided to the domain admins
group to allow the add machine script (and other admin functions) to
work. 
This is achieved by running

net rpc rights grant "YOURDOMAIN\Domain Admins"
SeMachineAccountPrivilege SePrintOperatorPrivilege SeAddUsersPrivilege
SeDiskOperatorPrivilege SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege

(without this step adding a machine fails with message unknown user or
bad password)

Also step 8 is now WRONG
In 10.04 you restart Samba by running 

sudo restart smbd
sudo restart nmbd

NOT sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

I tried to report this as a bug but could not get the email back from
launchpad allowing me to log on. 
I hope this can be of help to someone. Would have saved me a lot of time

Regards to all and thanks for your great work
