I did read the bug report and if you take notice, I did agree with you 
about the Administrator login and its home directory, but I cannot get 
the problem that you report. For me, no matter where I start from, ssh 
login of root works, it also gets the correct home directory of /root.
This is why I asked if the problem is just with your setup, for 
instance, you could try turning off nscd, in my opinion this is probably 
where your problem lies, not in samba.
