[Samba] Rookie Question

[Brian Payst]

Which you accomplish by smpasswd -a root

Since you said newbie, I thought I'd throw that in as well :) . 

Note that the root password you use here does not actually have to be
the same as your true root password on the server, you just have to have
a root account with a password in the Samba password file.
