samba - Dec 2003 - User Manager For Domains - SAMBA 3.0.1-2

Hi,

I,m running Samba 3.0.1-2  on a RedHat 9.0 box, and would like to use 
the "User Manager for Domains" tool to control users and groups.
But i can't get it to work proberly.

Deleting users and groups, change group membership on users works fine, 
but adding users and groups does not.

I have tried to find out how well the "User Manager for Domains" is 
supported in Samba 3.0.1-2, but without success.
Does anybody have some experience with this tool ?

In my smb.conf i have added the following lines:

//--snip--//

add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false 
-M "%u"
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd "%u"
add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd "%g"
add user to group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -a "%u" "%g"
delete user from group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -d "%u"
"%g"
set primary group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -g "%g" "%u"
delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel "%u"
delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel "%g"

//--snip--//


Best regards

Hi again,

Well i did not get any response to my problem :-(

The only thing i have noticed since my last posting is a log entry that 
seems to show up when i try to add a user with the "User Manager For 
Domains" (on windws 98se)

I also tried to make my own "add user script" in perl, that make use
of
both the "adduser" and "smbpasswd" commands.
But no success.

This is the entry from the log.

[2003/12/28 20:41:36, 1] smbd/ipc.c:api_fd_reply(292)
  api_fd_reply: INVALID PIPE HANDLE: ffff

I suppose that means  that "UMFD" is not supported, but i find that 
difficult to belive cause the delete and change group member ship 
functions works great.
