Hi, as usual there are several ways to accomplish what you're looking for. This is what I prefer - "netgroups and granting rights", because
1) username map = /etc/samba/smbusers (linking users to root) IMHO the really old style for those who don't know a better way. You shouldn't grant admin-rights this way. 2) admin users = frank Somehow better than 1) but also a short-term solution you shouldn't use. 3) messing up with my netgroups and granting rights IMHO it's not "messing with" but the only way to grant user-rights and priviliges. It's more complex and you need to think about it ini advance, but it's a propper long-term solution.
