I have samba 3.0.0-1 server running as a PDC, laptop x and workstation y Now when i am logged in as the DOMAIN\*anyuser and i go to control panel user accounts; it says that the user does not have the needed permissions and asked for user/password/domain. If i put in root/password/domain. it continues to say that the user does not have the needed permissions and asked for user/password/domain again. Isn't the root acount the domain administrator. All i really what to do is allow for my laptop and workstations to set the time off my linux server using net time /domain:blah /set /y. Is there a way i can have the samba server say that all users have power user or administrator privilevge (it is just me) without having to mess with windows. On a side note, is there a flag(s) that can be placed into smbpasswd to correct this? a copy of my smb.conf file is avaible at http://qnetalpha.com/linux/samba/smb.conf
