samba - May 2002 - - Domain Users and Windows 2000... Help

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to add a group on a linux PDC
running Samba 2.2.4 to a windows 2000 clients local "Power Users
Group" or any of the local windows 2k groups.  I want certain people to be
in the Power Users Group on 2K, but I don't want to have to add each domain
user individually to that local win2k group, I want to add a domain group to the
win2k group.  Right now all I see are domain users when I try and populate a 2K
local group and I'm wondering if it is possible at all to even add a domain
group to a local win2k group.... if anyone can provide me with an answer I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks,
Matt Lung

Hi Matt.

I've had some success adding the 'authenticated users' group to the 
powerusers group.  I think that the 'authenticated users' group consists
of
all users who authenticate against the domain.

If authenticated users is added to the local powerusers group, it may give 
you what you're looking for.

Again, my experiments with this are rather incomplete - I'd like to see how 
it works for you.  I'd also be interested in a XP pro setting.
