Yep, I have also forgotten a feature of GNU Midnight Commander 4.5.42
that looks to marked dot files as 'hidden' within my <user> account (or
maybe I myself configured it like that, who knows), but did not marked
them as 'hidden' under my root account. I was thinking it was normal
status. The same goes for my NT box, where Windows NT Explorer also
showed all files under "administrator" account, but under <user>
account, some files were as 'hidden'. I just didn't check settings for
various users.

I am not a Samba expert, so not sure what do you mean by 'aliasing' of
Samba logins. The only thing I know is that I have made different
accounts for a <user> for NT box, for simple telnet to Linux box from NT
computer, and for login to Samba share from NT's Win.Explorer. I did
that intentionaly to ensure that there was no account who might possibly
'transfer' some additional user rights to another account.
