If I don't put 'root' in the domain admin group, 'administratotor' can
only logon to the local domain, but not the NT domain.

If I don't put 'root' in the domain admin group, 'root' logon to the NT
domain as a ordinary user only.

I tried that already.  What frustrating me is that:
If 'root' has to be added in the domain admin group, why the FAQ doesn't
mention this crucial step?  What the FAQs (both 2.x & TNG) cover is only
how to make an ordinary user become a domain admin in general.  Maybe
it's commom sense, but I think it does no harm to add a line for the
explicity of how to logon the the NT domain as 'administrator' which,
actually maps to the home directory of 'root', the superuser in Linux
and most importantly this 'administrator' or 'root' is a domain admin
who can perform all the administrative tasks.
