Map UNIX User to NT Administrator user

Hi all,

I've set up our samba server to be domain logon server for a bunch of 
Win NT 4 and Win 98 workstations.

I was wondering whether I should be able to log in as admin (an 
account I have set up) using the domain logon and have administrator 
privileges on the workstation.

I have the following in my [global] section of smb.conf

username map = /etc/samba/domainuser.map

and

/etc/samba/domainuser.map looks like this:

admin = Administrator
dan = Administrator


does this mean that I should be able to log in to a workstation as 
either admin or dan and have Administrator rights on it? That's the 
impression I got from the smb.conf man page and my SAMBA QUE book...

if I'm off track here can someone enlighten me as to how to get the 
SAMBA domain logon server to tell the NT workstation logging in that 
I should have full administrator rights?

TIA - dan.
