Hmm... it appears that "domain admin users =' is not working. I have been
using the alternative, "domain admin group =" without problems since 2.0.7.
yes, it does work in 2.2

typically "

domain admin group = @adm

Where the users you wish to be domain admins are members of the unix group
'adm'. Note that the client machines don't know about the group
relationship, its purely a samba thing. Samba looks up members of the
group, if the logged on person is one of the members, the clien machine is
told to treat them as a domain admin.

I'll add this correction to the FAQ...
