I recommend the following additions:

- There is a bug (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4098) where
by accounts created with 'net rpc user add' are disabled and need
enabling. To work around this you can do this for each account you create:
smbpasswd -e <new username>

- Beware of 'invalid users = root' in smb.conf, which is enabled by
default in Debian

- Upgrading from Sarge to Etch:

smb.conf's 'passwd chat' changed from '*Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .' to '*Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:*
%n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully*
.'

Since Samba 3.0.23 'net groupmap modify' now needs to be 'net groupmap
add'; additionally the RID has to be specified, using the form 'rid=<RID>'
