Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

The pdf variant of the server guide was recently updated and now says
that setting up samba as pdc requires the command

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

but this doesn't work if done exactly like it's documented, because:

1: This command can not be issued before restarting samba, because
otherwise the domain does not yet exist.

2: One must use the -U option to specify a userid, otherwise it will
prompt for the passwort of root, which does not exist.

3: Before issuing this command, one must do 'smbpasswd -a' for the
userid to be used. I thought that libpam-smbpass would take care of this
and make the linux passwords available to samba, but that doesn't seem
to work.

4: this command is another example of a truncations in the pdf variant
of the manual, as I already wrote in another bug report (590519).
