When you find it (or write it) please send it to me for inclusion in the 
HOWTO.

How have you set the new privileges? What worked/failed?

The 'root' account is no longer needed just to add machine accounts but it has 
not been superceded altogether.

Obviously, but you have not explained precisely what you have done and that 
means we need to guess your actions and what failed. A bit of a tall order if 
that is correct. :)

Did you set all the privileges as documented in the new chapter in the 
Samba-HOWTO-Collection (Chapter 13) - see: 
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

An example of application of the privileges is given in section 6.6.4 in the 
Samba-Guide. See: www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf

Yes! I do. I'd like to see you offer updates to the existing documentation and 
avoid (like the plague) creation of yet another howto (YAH!).
