Hi, I've been playing with a samba 4 installation to try out some things (and integrate with some windows/cifs based hardware that claims not to work with samba) and everythings going ok so far, using the alpha 5 release and i can get users and machines onto the domain, and the hardware seems to not know its not a standard AD setup. I've been using the howto on the wiki, and i've got to the point of groups, and it says to use SWAT to link the unix group and the windows group together, but SWAT isn't installed with alpha 5. Is there an alternate method to create this link, or is it even needed? (It'll probably be useful as we're going to be using samba to provide cifs based file shares back to linux hosts, and keeping uids/gids similar will be beneficial) Thanks, Daniel Systems Administrator, Sirca P: 02 9236 9127 E: Daniel.Dekok@sirca.org.au W: www.sirca.org.au

You're talking about SID<->gid mappings across multiple hosts, and I'm not quite sure how that fits into the other things you described.
