Hello!
A good day to you all. i am testing samba 2.2.3a on an rh 7.3 linux box with
windows 2000 as client. i noticed that the admin user parameter doesn't seem
to work; i.e. when i specify any user other than root, i cannot seem to join a
w2k machine into the domain.
Another thing i noticed is that, when logged on as the domain admin, i
don't seem to have admin rights to the local computer. Is this normal?
Any comments/suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Hi there! The 'admin user' must have rights to add a user to the system (useradd command), because each machine in the domain must have a username in the unix system. Usually root is the only user able to add more users; so, it is the only one who can add machines to the domain. Hope it helps!

Bug in 2.2, fixed in HEAD. Just use the root account.> Another thing i noticed is that, when logged on as the domain admin, i don't seem to have admin rights to the local computer.
