samba - May 2005 - A few questions

1. There is no Domain Users group on my Samba 3.0.6 server. Does this 
group need to be manually created?

2. In my smbpasswd file:
# Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name
root = Administrator
nobody = guest pcguest smbguest

I can not join a domain using administrator. I must use root. What did I 
do wrong?

3. Since there is no Domain Users group. I have been adding each user to 
the admin group on the local PC. When they are added the security 
identifier is also shown. How come?

You probably didn't read the Samba docs first. They are long and
involved, but your having a modicum of knowledge of them would have
prevented this unwarranted posting.

You didn't add the Domain Users group?

There are a couple of other groups you have to add too.  Go away and
read the most of the important docs, and when they don't work, come back
and tell us what and why.

It might help to add your OS/distro  and Samba version.
