samba - Jun 2003 - Give users Power user access level to local machines.

OK I have searched high and low and have not found anything that works.
We are running a software program which requires the user to have Power User
access level on the local machine.
The machines are Win2K sp3 and they are logging into a ADC which is Red Hat
9 (Shrike) and Samba Version 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix.

I have been able to setup the ADC and all users have "User" level
access to
the machines. If I add a suer from the ADC to the local Power Users group
the software works. I would like to not have to add every user to every
machine as that would almost be impossible. Also the software we need to run
we have to have and their is no alternative.

Any help is appreciated!
Any pointers to proper man pages or howto's are appreciated.
I have no problem reading and studying to figure this out however I have
exousted all known options.

Thanks,

As far as I know you can give users local admin rights using the following
format:

[global]
...
domain admin group = user1 user2 @group1 @group2

Does anybody knows about enabling power users rights?
