Can anyone point me to a step by step tutorial on setting up groups in Samba 3.x? I am using OpenLDAP as the user database. I have read the How To, googled and read articles. I have read about net groupmap, net getlocalsid, RIDS, gidNumbers, and all of that fun stuff. However, I need some info. to tie the whole thing together. Some sample ldif files would be nice too. Everything that I have read so far assumes a fairly deep level of knowledge. Any pointers from personal experience would also be welcome. :) Thanks

After that, samba is a piece of cake. LDIF's won't show you anything Craig

I have been using it as a directory server for a year or so. I have been using Samba 2.x as a PDC for over a year. No problems there. I recently moved to Samba 3.x. Uers can log in, access profiles and all that. I need some clarity on the process of mapping groups in Samba 3.x using LDAP. The mapping is automatically done using the other user backends. With LDAP one needs to manually add the groups, set up the RIDS properly, and manually create the mapping. There are some gaps in my knowledge here. I just need something to pull all the bits of information into one logical flow.
