Hi everyone...

I have a strange situation...

I have a working PDC handling the logons etc and executing the logon scripts everything is working good there.
On the Local XP machine though I went to the local administrator account and logged in, and added the SAMBA user let's say (BOB) to the Local Administrator group and then rebooted.

When I log in to the Linux PDC as Bob it starts up but I don't have Administrator privilages so I have some software that requires it starts to compain etc...
We have a current setup at work like this with NT server and it works alright so i'm trying to duplicate it, is linux different in adding the Linux User to the Local Admin account in some way?

Thanks for your help!
Vince
