Hmm, Redhat or Debian? Debian, no question. :)

As for the non-inflammatory question, I think that the Samba documentation 
more than adequately describes how to set up a Samba server to act as a 
Domain Controller, including 'saving profiles' et al.

  apt-get install samba-doc

And start looking around the copious documentation in 
/usr/share/doc/samba-doc. Of particular interest may the file 
/usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html.
