Hi! I am experiencing problems adding a user (e.g. smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group on my samba-PDC using the ldapsam backend. When I add "Domain Admins" as a supplementary group, the Windows 2000 client doesn't treat smbadmin as an admin. However, using "Domain Admins" as the primary group (including setting sambaPrimaryGroupSID as "$SID-512") works as expected, the user has administrative rights. Additional information is attached below. Is this a limitation or have I missed anything? Thanks in advance, --leo P.S.: showgrps from the Resource Kit shows "Domain Admins" regardless of wether "Domain Admins" is a primary or supplemental group. # net groupmap list verbose ntgroup="Domain Admins" Domain Admins SID : S-1-5-21-181998944-1107627502-2274996074-512 Unix group: domadmins Group type: Domain group Comment : -------------------- snipp! -------------------- This setup works (primary group): # net user INFO smbadmin root password: Domain Admins rk # ldapsearch -x -h localhost -b 'dc=rk-klbg,dc=at' '(uid=smbadmin)' [...] # smbadmin, Users, rk-klbg, at dn: uid=smbadmin,ou=Users,dc=rk-klbg,dc=at sn: smbadmin homeDirectory: /home/smbadmin loginShell: /bin/bash gecos: System User objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: sambaSamAccount cn: smbadmin uidNumber: 1011 uid: smbadmin description: System User mail: Samba.Admin sambaSID: S-1-5-21-181998944-1107627502-2274996074-3022 sambaAcctFlags: [UX] sambaPwdCanChange: 2147483647 sambaLogonTime: 0 sambaNTPassword: 957191BA4FCD635074D6D691E76E5512 sambaPwdLastSet: 0 sambaLogoffTime: 2147483647 sambaLMPassword: 14AC900E269621D293E28745B8BF4BA6 sambaKickoffTime: 2147483647 gidNumber: 800 sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-181998944-1107627502-2274996074-512 -------------------- snipp! -------------------- This setup doesn't work: ("Domain Admins" is a supplementary group) net user INFO smbadmin root password: rk Domain Admins # ldapsearch -x -h localhost -b 'dc=rk-klbg,dc=at' '(uid=smbadmin)' [...] # smbadmin, Users, rk-klbg, at dn: uid=smbadmin,ou=Users,dc=rk-klbg,dc=at sn: smbadmin homeDirectory: /home/smbadmin loginShell: /bin/bash gecos: System User objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: sambaSamAccount cn: smbadmin uidNumber: 1011 uid: smbadmin description: System User mail: Samba.Admin sambaSID: S-1-5-21-181998944-1107627502-2274996074-3022 sambaAcctFlags: [UX] sambaPwdCanChange: 2147483647 sambaLogonTime: 0 sambaNTPassword: 957191BA4FCD635074D6D691E76E5512 sambaPwdLastSet: 0 sambaLogoffTime: 2147483647 sambaLMPassword: 14AC900E269621D293E28745B8BF4BA6 sambaKickoffTime: 2147483647 gidNumber: 1000 sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-181998944-1107627502-2274996074-3001 -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexander (Leo) Bergolth leo@leo.wu-wien.ac.at WU-Wien - Zentrum fuer Informatikdienste http://leo.wu-wien.ac.at Computers are like air conditioners - they stop working properly when you open Windows
