| I'm trying to work out how I can create domain administrators with
Samba 3.
|
| I currently have the following in smb.conf
|
|     domain admin group = @smbadmins
|     domain admin users = root jbb

You are wrong in Samba3 there is a complete group mapping posibility,
not just the possibility of mapping domain admins, like in 2.2.x.
So:
first)  Remove that two lines from your smb.conf
second) Depending on your passdb backend, there could be two cases:
	A) passdb backend = smbpasswd (default, if not specified) or tdbsam. In
this case samba populates its database with all the entries found on a
Windows DC, you could see them with net groupmap list. You can (you need
to do) modify this default group mappings with net groupmap modify
ntgroup=... unixgroup=...
	B) passdb backend =ldapsam you need to add all the groupmaping by hand
with net groupmap add sid=... unixgroup=... Remember: Domain Admins
SID=Domain SID-512 Domain Users SID=Domain SID-513 Domain Guests
SID=Domain SID-514

Good Luck, and have a pleasant experience with Samba3, it is realy a big
improvment since the 2.2 line, in many areas.
