[Samba] Clarification of 'administrator' config w/ldap
I have a mostly working config with the ldap backend, at least from the standpoint of standard domain users, but I'm not sure how my Administrator user needs to be configured. The os 'root' user is in /etc/passwd and all my normal users are in the directory for unified login purposes. Is the domain 'Administrator' account supposed to correspond to 'root' in the os, 'Manager' in the directory, or a just a privileged user in the directory?

[Samba] Clarification of 'administrator' config w/ldap
root is mapped to windows Administrator account in /etc/samba/smbusers. however, since samba 3.0.11 you can make anyone a domain administrator (to add machine accounts, install software, etc) see http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/rights.html for more info. jeff sacksteder wrote:> I have a mostly working config with the ldap backend, at least from > the standpoint of standard domain users, but I'm not sure how my > Administrator user needs to be configured.
