BUG? admin users= ignoring force group=

[Brian Whitehead]

I'm wondering if this is a bug or if I'm not understanding this correctly.  
I've setup Samba with Winbind to work with a Win2K Server.  Everything is 
working fine with a few exceptions.  I'm using samba-2.2.3-pre2 from CVS on 
Redhat 7.2. 

What I'm having a problem with is that if I enable the 'admin users' 
directive on a share that I'm using the 'force group' directive anyone that 
is a member of the admin user list ignores the force group.  Anyone else pays 
attention to it and it works fine.  

For example if I have the following share config:

[ashare]
  path = /home/samba/ashare
  public = yes
  writable = no
  printable = no
  write list = @DOMAIN+Domain\ Admins @DOMAIN+AUserGroup
  force group = @DOMAIN+Domain\ Admins
  admin users = @DOMAIN+Domain\ Admins
  create mask = 0775
  directory mask = 0775

Now if I logon as someone that is a member of Domain Admins and create a file 
the file is created with root as the owner (which I expect) but Domain Users 
as the group.  If I create a file as anyone else then it is created with that 
user as the owner and Domain Admins as the group.

One other question.  I can't seem to find a consistent way to use Win2K 
groups.  With some directives it understands the \ escape character and can 
be typed as above, but with others it does not and puts errors in the logs to 
the effect "group DOMAIN+Domain\ not found".  But when I enter some of these 
as @"DOMAIN+Domain Admins" then it works fine and doesn't cause errors in the 
logs.  

Any help here is appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian W.
