[Samba] Local administrator access

[Martyn Ranyard]

Yes, you can get admin access.  This is a standard thing that has happened 
with NT upwards - you need to log on as a Local Administrator and add the 
DOMAIN\Domain Users to the Administrators group.  I have no idea where this 
is in 2K/XP, but in all likelihood it's somewhere in the Control Panel.  In 
NT it's Administrative Tools -> User Manager.

I am not a member of the samba team,
and anything that I say may not be as
accurate as a response from one of the
team.  I reply to save those more
qualified time, which can more usefully
be spent developing SAMBA further.
