samba - Sep 2006 - Making unix system accounts invisible in USRMGR.EXE

I have a Samba (3.0.22) server (working on Ubuntu 6.06.1) acting as NT
PDC. My passdb backend is tdbsam.

I'm using USRMGR.EXE from Microsoft for user account administration. In
USRMGR.EXE I see all accounts, unfortunately also Ubuntu's system
accounts (like proxy, sync, sshd etc.). Is there any way to make them
invisible for USRMGR.EXE?

Cheers
B.

They shouldn't show up unless they are in the passdb.
Do they show up when you run 'pdbedit -L -w' ?

Clear answer, clear statement. Thanks! ;-)
