[Samba] "admin user =" problems

[Llu'is Batlle]

Hi there!

The 'admin user' must have rights to add a user to the system (useradd command),
because each machine in the domain must have a username in the unix system.
Usually root is the only user able to add more users; so, it is the only one
who can add machines to the domain.

Hope it helps!
