Hi Andrew,

The 'username map' option isn't exactly what I am looking for. That doesn't solve my issue. We have a home grown backend with a custom Samba plugin. The original writer has moved on and I am faced with solving a issue that might be solved if I could replace Samba query for the root user with something else. At least that what it looks like from where I am sitting.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Best Regards,
Paul

    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
