How can I make samba use netbios scope ID's

I have set 'force user' and samba still makes 'root' the owner of all the files I touch!

+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. +

I have just installed samba and I'm trying to log in from Windows, but samba refuses all logins!

+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. +

How can I make samba use netbios scope ID's

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.
