Hi everyone!

I have a (maybe stupid) question. In an environment where TNG is running
with LDAP as passwd and group repository, what exactly is the criteria
for the root-user (the one used for joining a wks to a domain etc)?

Is it the name root?
Is it the uid 0?
Is it just a user with administrative priviliges in LDAP?
Has the Samba (LDAP) root something to do with the root-user on the 
system were Samba is running? If so, why?
Is it something else?

Thank You,
