SAMLOGON weirdness

[Michael Stockman]

Hello,

I'm running several ("new") versions of the server, so don't ask
which. However it seems that W95 at a number of times logs on a user
"Administrator" to the samba machine via a SAMLOGON. However I didn't
(until today) have a user administrator, which caused some calls to
fail, either because the user wasn't in the smbpasswd file or because
it wasn't in the passwd file. What I did have was a mapping to "root"
(well, got to use some user) in the username map. This must have been
ignored, or my map file was wrong (less likely as I could use
"administrator" to log in with the root password). Thus I must ask
wheter if you are obliged to have a user administrator on you system
(difficult to add), SAMLOGON should pay more attention to username map
or "administrator" should be hard coded into samba (perhaps not so
nice?)?

Best regards
