samba - Apr 2009 - Clarification of 'administrator' config w/ldap

I have a mostly working config with the ldap backend, at least from
the standpoint of standard domain users, but I'm not sure how my
Administrator user needs to be configured. The os 'root' user is in
/etc/passwd and all my normal users are in the directory for unified
login purposes. Is the domain 'Administrator' account supposed to
correspond to 'root' in the os, 'Manager' in the directory, or a
just
a privileged user in the directory?

root is mapped to windows Administrator account in /etc/samba/smbusers.  
however, since samba 3.0.11 you can make anyone a domain administrator 
(to add machine accounts, install software, etc) see 
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/rights.html 
for more info.
