No, I'm pretty sure that we do not want to do this. What "root=admin" does
is allow "admin" to log in and be "root" under samba. We want "admin" to
be "admin", and to manipulate files in i-bays as "admin", who is the owner
of, for instance, the root directory of the primary i-bay. We don't want
"admin" to be creating "root" owned files via samba.
