samba - Nov 2004 - MS User Manager Permission Denied

Greetings everyone!

For starters, I'm still on the uphill side of the samba learning curve
so bare with me.  I've just setup a test network in my office to see how
well I can replace a windows PDC with a samba solution (Mostly via
"Samba 3 by Example"). I do, however, have one issue that I can't
seem
to figure out no matter how many hours I spend reading the archive
threads.  The problem seems to be tied to  permissions but I don't know
where to look to correct the issue.

So for things are very simple.  Smbpasswd with matching unix accounts. I
followed permissions as instructed in chapter 3 and set up groups
accordingly.  I downloaded SVRTOOLS.EXE from microsoft to see if I could
create users from the user manager and everything seems to be there
(users, groups..etc.) but I get "Access is denied" errors trying to
add
any information with the user manager on a Win2k machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated?  

I'm using Samba 3.0.7

Thanks

Jim

You have to logon as 'root' yes the unix root is meant here,
on the windows machine to be able to use the NT Usermanager for example
