samba - Jul 2003 - Groups not mapping correctly.

Hello,

At one time I installed an alpha of samba-3.0 and it had a smbgroupedit
command that mapped unix and windows groups via webmin.  This seems to
be missing in beta3, has it been depreciated?

Also I can't seem to get the group map to take effect unless the unix
group is the users primary group.  Either that or I don't understand
something.

I do not have winbindd running or any idmap settings in my smb.conf file
as everything is local, I assume this is correct?

If I use "net groupmap" and map dadmin for example to "Domain
Admins"
and set dadmin to the primary group of a user everything works fine. 
If, however, I map "user" to "Users" and "pwruser"
to "Power Users", set
"user" to be the primary group and also have the user be a secondary
member of pwruser, things don't work.  The user never becomes a "Power
User".

I've installed samba on RH7.3 from a binary on the samba site.

Can someone please explain the function and flow of the group mapping,
much appreciated.

OK, I understand that net groupmap has taken over from smbgroupedit but
I still don't have groups mapped properly.  I can't get a user to be a
"Power User" no matter what I do.

Is there some magic to this?  I'm using just a plain old standalone
server.
