+<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".

+See also the "User database" chapter of the samba HOWTO Collection.

+<title>How can I make samba use netbios scope ID's</title>
+
+<para>By default Samba uses a blank scope ID. This means
+all your windows boxes must also have a blank scope ID.
+If you really want to use a non-blank scope ID then you will
+need to use the 'netbios scope' smb.conf option.
+All your PCs will need to have the same setting for
+this to work. Scope ID's are not recommended.</para>
