[Samba] Administrator

[Christoph Scheeder]

Hi,
this is no problem at all with samba 3.x, all you need is to
get your groupmapping set up correct and all is fine.
Have a look at the "net groupmap" command in 3.x.
In samba 3.x the handling of NT/Windows-groups was changed complete.
for details read through the fine doc's at samba.org about setting up a 
PDC with samba 3.x
