<title>I have set 'force user' and samba still makes 'root' the owner of all the files I touch!</title>
<para>
When you have a user in 'admin users', samba will always do file operations for
this user as 'root', even if 'force user' has been set.

<title>I have just installed samba and I'm trying to log in from Windows, but samba refuses all logins!</title>
<para>
Newer windows clients(NT4, 2000, XP) send encrypted passwords. Samba can't compare these
passwords to the unix password database, so it needs it's own user database. You can
add users to this database using "smbpasswd -a user-name".
