The admin users option was never meant to control permissions
for things like adding users on the Samba server, etc...
So what you have now is behavior by design.   I'm working on
a new feature that will allow you to define rights for certain
groups such as 'add computers to domain', 'restart server',
etc....  I just keep getting sidetracked with other things.





cheers, jerry
