[Samba] only ROOT user?

[Gary Dale]

Two suggestions:
1) install SWAT and try using it to add users, etc.. (don't forget to 
enable the user after adding them)
2) check out the Samba Howto Collection and Samba by Example on the 
Samba.org web site to get some ideas on how to make things work.

Good luck.
