Just a FYI for those that are interested.

I found that to give admin privilages, in Windows, to Domain user "root" 
do this on tha Samba Domain Controller:

net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=root

I can now install/remove software logged in as a domain user "root" on 
Win2k.

I've never seen this directly stated before and thought some newbies 
would like to know.  (I'm still a samba newbie pouring through the docs 
and howto's)

Thanks  Samba team for a great piece of software!
Regards

Doug P
