Hi all, I'm not able to create localgroups as described in "docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/groupmapping.html" I have tested Samba 3.2.5 and 3.2.6 on Debian lenny. As usual I am using openldap as backend. First I have tested with smbldap-tools, then I have switched to ldapsam:editposix = yes ldapsam:trusted = yes and removed all the script entries from smb.conf. The result is always the same: Localgroups are created with: objectClass: sambaSidEntry objectClass: sambaGroupMapping sambaGroupType: 4 Globalgroups are created with: objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: sambaGroupMapping sambaGroupType: 2 The very ugly result is, that getent is not able to resolve any local group, as stated in groupmapping.html. A solution may be, that the code that create the localgroups, share the code which create global groups ??? Any Ideas? PS Even if I manually create a localgroup with the objectclasses from rfc2307, like so: objectClass: top objectClass: sambaSidEntry objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: sambaGroupMapping objectClass: extensibleObject cn: ab38 gidNumber: 6005 sambaSID: S-1-5-21-2462391502-1360153102-2655098952-5080 sambaGroupType: 4 displayName: ab38 memberUid: domadmins sambaSIDList: S-1-5-21-2462391502-1360153102-2655098952-512 is the reult the same. net rpc group members will list all members of nested groups, getent will not :-( if I switch sambaGroupType to 2, both will work -- Gruss Harry Jede
