Samba 2.2.1a/2.2.2 install with Win2000ServerSP2

[Gary S MacKay]

You need to have a user in samba called 'root'. You then use that user and
password when Win2k asks for the admin person. Works then. I setup a bunch
over the weekend. Also, make sure you have the latest version of samba,
2.2.2 I think.
