samba - Aug 2002 - question about PDC & permissions

OK...

I have set samba up as a primary domain controller for my internal network. 
everything is working perfectly, almost.  although I have machines that have
joined the domain, and my shares are working properly, I have been unable to set
any of the accounds with administrative priviledges.  I am unable to find any
documention on doing so.

how (prefferable using smbpasswd) can I set a user as a domain user?  I know I
can use smbpasswd -U to set them as a normal user, but that doen't resolve
the problem.

Thanks,

Jeff Bluemel

Hi :) First off, please consider wrapping your text at about 74 
characters width...

You can simply assign certain users domain admin rights by either 
specifying each user in the share config thus:

[sharename]
	path=/blah
	domain admins = user1, user2

Or you can make them a member of a new UNIX group and instead specift

	domain admins = @groupname
