Well it might be wierdness, but the Samba code was
just plain wrong in assuming that the root primary
gid_t was always zero. The new code correctly looks
up root in the password database and *cheks* what
the primary gid_t is.

I'll talk to Andrew about jitterbug. He's here in
San Jose for Linuxworld expo.
