SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the MEMBER OF statement in a login script for File and Print

use the following in your login script:

  if member of "ADMINISTRATORS" then

     write "Yes-member"

  else

     write "No - not a member"

  end

"No - not a member" appears, whether or not the user is a member of
Administrators.

This problem occurs with any built-in groups, such as Administrators, Everyone,
Account Operators, Backup Operators, Guests, Power Users, Print Operators,
Replicator, Server Operators and Users.
