Hi, Is there any way to use local groups from Samba PDC on Win2000 Clients? -- Friday, June 21, 2002 12:33:41 PM Best regards, Igor Kulemzin Amursky Crystall, http://www.kristal.ru E-mail: ivk@kristal.ru -> FreeBSD - The BEST upgrade you can do to NT! ->
>Is there any way to use local groups from Samba PDC on Win2000 Clients?You can create & associate UNIX (local) groups to Domain Groups, but it is a bit of a hack. Grab the Samba 3.0 code and compile. Copy the resulting smbgroupedit command to someplace like /usr/local/bin/ on your Samba PDC. We have been using it with the 2.2.x series since 2.2.1a and it seems to work OK. The groups show up on the WinY2k box when you go to edit ACLs etc.... I doubt this is a "supported" option. lnx01688:~ $/usr/local/bin/smbgroupedit You need to be root to use this tool! options: -a group create new group -n group NT group name -p privilege only local -v list groups -l long list (include details) -s short list (default) -c SID change group -u unix group -x group delete this group -t[b|d|l] type: builtin, domain, local
