Greetings Samba users, In the process of setting up Samba, one of the item you need to need is add a root user to the samba password database. I was wondering if it is possible to change the name of the Samba root/Administrator user to another user, like smbroot ? I checked the 'username map' option in the man pages, but it doesn't appear to do what I want. From the man page it appears that I can map UNIX to Windows mappings. I was hoping to find something that says 'use smbroot instead of root'. Best Regards, Paul

Well, next problem. Because of samba isn't running on alphaserver 1200 with gentoo linux and kernel 2.6.9-ac12 i've simply exported my smbroot (on alpha, it is my fileserver) and have samba running on an intel pentium4 box, also gentoo, kernel 2.6.0-ac12. Seems to work, eccept some locking problems. smbd[9450]: [2005/02/08 17:29:51, 0] locking/posix.c:posix_fcntl_lock(657) smbd[9450]: posix_fcntl_lock: WARNING: lock request at offset...
