[Samba] Windows 2K local groups

Problem:

I have a Redhat 7.1 box with Samba 2.2.5 acting as PDC.  I need to add 
some of my domain users to a local Windows 2K group (the power users 
group).  I open up my local group administration and select the user 
from my domain and attempt to add them and get an error message similar 
to the following:

"A member could not be added to or removed from the local group because 
the member does not exist."


I know this is possible because I have added domain users to a Windows 
2K local group in the past.  There are actually still users in this 
group from the last time I added users.  Since I have added users 
nothing has changed in my Samba config file.  I am still looking at this 
problem and was wondering if anyone else has experience this.  If you 
have or can offer an advice on how to fix this issue please contact me.

Thanks for any help!

Matt
