There should be no relationship actually. With the introduction of privileges in Samba 3.0.11, you don't need root any more. What people originally did was to create a user named Administrator with a uid of 0 and a rid of 500. It was never really necessary. Administrator is just a name that people were less afraid of than root. I just created an account named root with a different password. cheers, jerry ===================================================================== Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ----- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "I never saved anything for the swim back."
