samba - Jan 2005 - Patch available to address the 'joining clients using root account' limitation

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I've just checked in a change that will be in 3.0.11pre2
(when it is released) that allows members of the Domain Admins
group (defined by the Samba DC's group mapping table) to
join clients to the domain.  You can get the port for 4.0.10
from

http://www.samba.org/~jerry/patches/post-3.0.10/domain_admin-join.patch

Please test and send me any feedback (good idea, bad idea,
does work for you, etc....)

Hopefully this will help clear up the confusion caused by people
using the 'admin users' to enable non-root accounts to be used
when joining a Windows client to the domain.




cheers, jerry
