I have looked around for a few days to try to find a solution to this. I have to map the nt group "power users" to a unix group. so far I have tried adding domain group map = /foo/bar to smb.conf file. also in the username map = /foo/bar I added a line testgroup = @"power users" It was just a long shot anyways. I am sure it is possible to do, otherwise, damn it is needed. Any assistance is appreciated. Kyle Loree Rendek Communications Kyle@caisnet.com
