Mark, from a quick search, slackware 14.2 uses Samba 4.6.16 at maximum,
this is EOL as far as Samba is concerned.
There is nothing you can do to get Administrator to log into a Unix
domain member, but you can map Administrator to the root user. Add this
line to your smb.conf:
username map = /etc/samba/user.map
Create /etc/samba/user.map containing just this:
!root = HPRS\Administrator
Coming back to your smb.conf and the [Backups] share in particular, you
should remove 'public = yes', it means the same as 'guest ok = yes'.
However, you might as well also remove 'guest ok = yes' and 'guest only
= yes' because you do not have 'map to guest = bad user' set in
[global], so you will not get any guest access ;-)
