[Samba] Administrator rights for Windows update?

[Paul Gienger]

Is it necessary to give root access to install system wide packages in 
UNIX?  There is really no difference, aside from this being a new 
concept to long time windows users.   Installing updates requires enough 
permissions to modify/delete critical system files, and you don't want 
Joe Schmoe doing that.
