I'm not sure.  Did you join this Samba box to the AD
(domain|forest|leaf|compost heap)?  Check out the Samba.org site for the
HOWTO.  With NT 4 domains, once you joined the domain, all the NT 4
groups were at your disposal.  

I have just finished installing my Win2K3 server in AD mode in VMWare,
and Samba 3 on the test box.  I'll be testing this later this week, but
don't have a good answer right now.

Thanks
