        that worked!! thanks a ton. :)
        everything's happy now. :) :)

        here's the SID I come up with:
S-1-5-21-2124051466-3651293124-3722329590

didn't try either of yours. (of course, i could also try ones from other
SAMBA boxen on my network, if I'd thought of it). don't really have time to
experiment right now.

thanks a ton!
