[Samba] Power Users - Is it possible?

[George Farris]

Well interestingly enough it only works if I make pwruser (which is
mapped to "Domain Users") be the primary group of the user.  This is
confusing because with the user I have set up for a Domain Admin
(unixgroup dadmin) dadmin is not it's primary group.

Any thoughts?
