samba - Jun 2002 - account aliases?

hello everyone,

I've looked through Google and this list's archives but have come up
empty.
here's may question: I have an NT laptop where I log in as administrator, I
have a linux box with an account of my one (erick).  Everytime I try to
access the filesystem on the Linux box, NT sends credentials for
administrator which of course, is wrong.  when the challenge fail I'm
prompted for an account/password.  I would like to keep using my admin
account on NT but I don't want to create an "administrator"
account on
Linux, or rename my "erick" account.  but I want it to automatically
know
it's me.  so my question is: is there a way in which I can create an account
alias in Samba? i.e. a Samba account called "administrator" which maps
to
the Linux account "erick"? or is there a better way to do this?

username map (G)

This option allows you to specify a file containing a mapping of
usernames from the clients to the server. This can be used for several
purposes. The most common is to map usernames that users use on DOS or
Windows machines to those that the UNIX box uses. The other is to map
multiple users to a single username so that they can more easily share
files. [...]


Example: username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map
