Good point here, i'll drop that also at the debian samba bug list.
Totaly forgot about nobody and uid 65534..
In dutch.. "Het kwartje valt...." ( A penny drops.. ) hihi..
But its "it finally makes sense"
... why people on debian have problem with nobody, i never use nobody.
Haha (sorry about that joke) :-p
I could not resist that.. Please forgive me :-)
