The way that the username map works is this:

You are logged into a Windows machine as Administrator and need to 
change the permissions on a Samba share. Administrator opens the shares 
properties tab and then attempts to change something on the share, at 
this point 'Administrator' is unknown to the Unix machine, but, because 
of the username map, 'Administrator' becomes 'root' and the changes are 
allowed, the password is never asked for.

If you are attempting to do something else, then tell what you are 
attempting and I will tell you if it is possible.
