[GRLUG] Samba user management

[Mark Farver]

If you need to have Windows admins using something, maybe you should try
just doing it in Windows Server.

Samba is great for making Unix play nice with Windows, but in the end
Microsoft's effort and Samba itself are mostly tuned toward Unix being
subservient to Active Directory.  Put the bulk of the infrastructure on
whichever platform the admins know best.
