I have finally gotten my system working but am now perplexed about how to do group mapping. I have read and followed the smbgroupedit instructions but to no avail. I have a SID in my windows xp box that shows the correct SID but does not map it to a human friendly name ie. Domain Admins. So thus I can not have effective groups on my server yet (bummer). It shows a broken SID icon for the admin group in the security window. Also I have several of the builtin groups ie I have 3 Domain Admins with 3 SIDs they all are mapped to the same group but I am wondering if I can get rid of the ones not using the same SID as the one found in MACHINE.SID Also I would like to know how to limit the username lookups on samba so I don't show all my linux users to my samba users (is it even possible?). Thanks for helping me get this far I really appreciate it. I really like the idea that there is a way to give users a familiar desktop environment while maintaining the stability of linux. ------------- Jeffrey D. Means CIO for PicoTech Ft.
