Hi! I have a problem using ntconfig.pol-policies for domain groups other than "Domain Users" and "Domain Admins". I am using Samba 2.2.7 with LDAP support as a PDC. Policies work as expected for "Domain Users" and "Domain Admins" but setting policies for any other group doesn't work. The "Browse"-list for AddGroups in poledit only shows the two groups "Domain Users" and "Domain Admins", other groups that I've set up, are not found in poledit. (Sniffing the wire using Ethereal shows that the Samba-Server only returns information about those two groups, see below...) When I enter the name of a group like "RK_KLBG\Everyone" or "RK_KLBG\rk" manually in the Browse-window, poledit tells me that this is a local group and refuses to add this group. Entering the group as "RK_KLBG\Everyone", "Everyone", "RK_KLBG\rk" or "rk" in the text-field outside the Browse-window works but when logging in a user that is a member of those groups, the settings are ignored. However those groups work as expected in Unix and for file permissions on the Samba-server. I've verified this behaviour on Windows 2000 and NT4. Any help is greatly appreciated, as I'm already struggling with this problem for several months and I'm rather desperate now... :( Some data that might help is attached below, please tell me, if you need additional informations.
