Hi, 

I just recently purchased a new server and took this opportunity to
upgrade to the latest version of samba (3.0.12).  Unfortunatly, I have
some weird occurances.  I have a user called "joe" who is my admin
user.

In /etc/passwd I have this: 
joe:x:500:500:Joe:/home/joe:/bin/bash

In /etc/group I have this: 
admin:x:500:joe

id returns correctly: 
uid=500(joe) gid=500(admin) groups=500(admin)

I have a very simple samba setup.  With only 2 users (and 1 machine
account) in my smbpasswd.  I can login fine and it appears everything
works.  Unfortunatly, I can see that I am not a domain admin when I
login.  When I look in /var/log/samba I get an odd message (which is
below) and the same message in /var/log/messages.  I also modified net
groupmap to map my unix group to the Domain Admin group (that is below
too).

The weird thing is that I have my logon script = %G.bat. I have a file
called admin.bat located in /home/netlogon and when I login, that
script loads.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Peter
