Is there a version of Samba that I can download and use that will allow
users to change their Samba Password in smbpasswd and to have this also
updated in the UNIX passwd file? Is it just a matter of getting pre TNG
2.5 source?

I know it was able to be done in the past, as I have printouts of mail
sent from users saying they had it working (even under the OS type I'm
trying to get it work on - Digital Unix 4.0D). The mail was dated Nov,
1998 however - (what version of Samba would this correspond to?)

Also, I need to know how to setup a Domain Administrator that actually
works on the NT clients. We tried the mapping of root=Administrator and
having Administrator in the adm group in /etc/group, but it didn't change
any access privileges. I was using:

domain admin group = /usr/local/daemon/samba/lib/domaingroup.map
domain admin users = /usr/local/daemon/samba/lib/domainuser.map

With:

adm="Domain Admins" in the first map and
root=Administrator in the second map.

Thanks,
