Hi All

I wondered if anyone could help with a couple of questions I have in regards to 
setting up samba?

The first isn't about samba but a group called "wheel" this vaguely seems 
familiar in a slackware install?  I found this reference to it in the samba 
mini HOWTO.

admin users = @wheel

        ; domain administrators
        domain admin group = @wheel
        domain admin users = root

Do I generate this group for my lfs box?  Presumingly, I could use any group 
name I wished but what is the wheel group for and what would be a good choice?

My second question is about the useradd command.  How do you set disabled-login 
and disabled-password?  For previous distributions I've used the guide:

http://dcfonline.sfu.ca/ying/linux/samba/part6.html

While this is a vulnerable configuration, it has served me well for a number of 
years, allowing me at home move files from the MS platform to the Linux 
platform within my home.  In preparation I've looked at the useradd man page as 
well as others attempting to see how to set nologin and no password switches 
but I can't see it for looking.

I've probably opened a can of worms here but I'd like to develope my 
understanding on what would be a suitable samba configuration and why?

Gena
