| I need a little better information regarding the mapping of groups
| between an NT PDC and a SAMBA PDC, which trust each other.
|
| On the NT machine is a group called "ntgreen." On the Linux box
(running
| RH9 with Samba 3.0), there is a group called "lxgreen".
|
| I've done a: net groupmap add ntgroup=ntgreen unixgroup=lxgreen. The
| mapping shows up in a net groupmap list.
|
| However, when a member of the ntgreen group logs in on the NTPDC and
| attempts to access a share in the SAMBA-controlled domain that is
| supposed to be restricted to the lxgreen group, access is denied. The
| user can access shares that are open to all users.
|
| I am obviously missing something here.
Your problem is that in SMB/CIFS world access isn't granted by name, but
by SID. So having the groupnames maped each to other doesn't buy
anything to you except some confusion :-(. Despite the fact that I'm
absolutely not an expert of domain trust (I was doing everything, to
have a single domain ;-), for simlicity), I would suggest, to grant
access to your ntgroup, by granting access to NTDOMAIN+ntgroup, or
whatever your winbind separator would be.
Good Luck!
