I *think* I sorted out this problem, at least it now works with  
w2k-sp4.  Still have to test XP and Vista.  Wasn't the SID assignment  
(I believe this formula is used to always have even user and odd group  
id's, so they cannot interfere.  Not sure, though), but a bad setting  
of smb.conf attributes.

Thanks :-)

Hey, *that's* a cool idea!  I also have some more ideas how the process  
could be improved, like automatically adding the new account to more  
groups.

Due to lack of time, I couldn't write a new howto yet (although I  
already started).  Hopefully I can make a first draft (definitely  
without the SELinux stuff yet) available this weekend.

Cheers,
Albrecht.
