Edit SAMBA share permissions from NT

[Yaroslav Buga]

Hello Nigel,

Thank you for your answer. I added an account to "admin users" and loged onto 
Win2000 with it. When I run mmc I can see all the shares on my SAMBA server 
but I still can't edit their properties. I still get "Acces denied". 
smbstatus  showed me that I was connected as root. And I found the same in 
log. Does it work for you?
