Agreed. This is the issue that I have lost about a week on trynig to get a 
Windows Accounting Software package to work; it needs "Power Users", and 
Samba can only give "Users" or "Administrators". Yep, only two groups 
available. This is, as Tony said, a known issue; its mentioned throughout 
the samba-technical mailing list archives. If you can live without 
Power Users, as I am trying to do (track down registry keys and change 
their security on each machine, plus path permissions), then you should 
be fine. But most users should only be "Users" anyway.
