[ale] NT workstation permissions w/samba server

[Gary S MacKay]

Thanks for the response, however... :)
In true NT networking fashion, you don't normally create any of the
users on the local boxes. The "domain" does the authentication and the
profiles are stored on the server. I did try your suggestion tho. I
created the user on the local box and added him to the "domain admin"
group. Still did not work. Which I sort of expected since the 'local'
user was created in the 'WS1' domain (which is the private/local domain
of the box itself) and not the main network domain. To my knowledge
(limited), you can not use a workstation to admin the "domain" when
using a samba server. It is not a true PDC just yet. Hopefully someday.
I use the "useradd" and "smbpasswd -a" commands to add a user to the
unix box and then to samba.
