[samba] create account that can join machines but not admin access on domain

[Daniel Wilson]

hi list,

im using samba 3.0.8 with LDAP,

To add a machine to the domain i currently use the administrator account 
(which has uidNumber=0), which means this account has automatic root on 
all of the shares (my shares arnt using samba, im using NetApps Filers, 
which have been configured to authenticate via samba), when we roll this 
project out accross the university (approx 50,000 users) we want the 
technicians in each school to be able to add machines to the domain but 
not get root/admin access to all the shares.

So my question is, Can you create an account that can add machines to 
the domain but doesnt get root/admin priveldges on all the shares/domain 
(as the would conflict with human rights issues etc...)

Regards
