[Geoffrey Lee]

Yo,

I'e just realised that I've made a very stupid mistake. Must have left out
the @. Iu'll try it out later tonight. Thanks, or else I think that by
tomorrow all my ahir would be gone because I pulled every lock of it out in
frustration. :)

I have Samba 2.0.5a working as a PDC on a Solaris 2.6 NIS master machine.
I am able to login to the PDC and have Administrator access with the
following
line in my smb.conf  "staff" is a UNIX "group" that is in /var/yp/group or
/etc/group
my userid is a member of the "staff" group.

; needed for "staff" group members to have administrator priv. on pcs.
   domain admin group = @staff

I think I found this info in the Samba-NTDOMAIN archives from around
summer 98.

Hope this helps,

Melissa
