[gentoo-user] [OT samba] mapping win user to root in smbusers

When installing samba from portage one ends up with a smbusers file in
/etc/samba that contains (in part):

root = administrator admin

Which would seem to indicate that windows user administrator or admin
will be mapped to root on the linux shares.

I wanted to extend that to my win user harry.  Its a single user
network so I wanted to map win user harry to linux root.  It would
appear I could do:

  root = administrator admin harry

But doing that has not given win user harry, root privs on linux
shares.

I do realize the security implications but many of the usual reasons
for not logging on as root will not apply to a single user setup and
then some more will fall when it is known that win user harry will
rarely access really sensitive areas of the linux machine but more
likely need some mundate write to etc, usr/local or the like.

Are there any samba users here who can steer me toward getting this to
work?
