What I want to do is create and/or access an account that is local to the
samba4.
I was able to create an account called root and set a password for it,
using smbpasswd
But when I run
net rpc rights grant 'Domain\Group' SeDiskOperatorPrivilege -Uroot
 I get: Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1
The username or password was not correct.
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

when I set interfaces = eth0 lo, samba starts to listen on 127.0.0.2

May Yahweh bless you and keep you.
May Yahweh let his face shine on you and be gracious to you.
May Yahweh show you his face and bring you peace.
(New Jerusalem Bible Numbers 6:24-26)
