[Samba] Mapping usernames

[Gary Dale]

I suspect that the problem is that Samba is looking up the Windows name 
and simply mapping to the first instance it finds.

A work-around would be to use the "force user" setting on the share. 
Allow garcijo access then force the user to be mpcadmin.

You may also want to consider your strategy for setting permissions. Why 
bother with Unix accounts when Windows accounts can do what you want? 
Open up the share to a larger Unix group but set the Windows permissions 
to just give access to the person you want.
