I need to clean up the groupmap setup - samba 3.0.0 / ldapsam Although I'm spitting out a fair amount of information, I'm going to concentrate on the Administrators entry which appears twice, this doesn't seem good... # net groupmap list Administrators (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-544) -> root Backup Operators (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-551) -> bin Replicators (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-552) -> daemon System Operators (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-549) -> sys Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-512) -> adm Print Operators (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-550) -> lp Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-514) -> nobody Users (S-1-5-32-545) -> users Domain Users (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-513) -> users-all Domain Computers (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-515) -> machines Public Relations (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-1021) -> users-pr Macintosh Users (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-1049) -> users-adv Accounting (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-1008) -> users-acctg Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-512) -> Domain Admins Domain Users (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-513) -> Domain Users Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-514) -> Domain Guests Accounting (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-1008) -> Accounting Public Relations (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-1021) -> Public Relations Macintosh Users (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-1049) -> Macintosh Users MTS Impersonators (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-1003) -> MTS Impersonators WWW access (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-1015) -> WWW access Account Operators (S-1-5-32-548) -> Account Operators Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) -> Administrators Backup Operators (S-1-5-32-551) -> Backup Operators Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> Guests Print Operators (S-1-5-32-550) -> Print Operators Replicator (S-1-5-32-552) -> Replicator Server Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> Server Operators Domain Computers (S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-553) -> Domain Computers I guess that I need a better overview to fix the LDAP setup I have a group root - cn: cn=root,ou=Groups,o=Domain,c=US objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: top objectClass: sambaGroupMapping cn: root userPassword:: e2NyeXB0fXggidNumber: 0 creatorsName: cn=root,o=Domain,c=US createTimestamp: 20031227024133Z sambaSID: S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-544 sambaGroupType: 2 displayName: Administrators description: Local Unix group modifiersName: cn=root,o=Domain,c=US modifyTimestamp: 20031227043956Z NOTE - displayName: Administrators and I have a group Administrators dn: cn=Administrators,ou=Groups,o=Domain,c=US objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: sambaGroupMapping cn: Administrators gidNumber: 1016 creatorsName: cn=root,o=Domain,c=US createTimestamp: 20031227025306Z sambaSID: S-1-5-32-544 sambaGroupType: 5 displayName: Administrators description: Members can fully administer the computer/domain memberUid: Administrator memberUid: kbenedetto modifiersName: cn=root,o=Domain,c=US modifyTimestamp: 20031227214759Z This is what I believe happened and how I would fix it - please tell me if I am on target or off base. I created the users and groups from padl migration scripts I then net rpc vampire from the Windows NT PDC I then ran a groupmap command that included... net groupmap add sid=S-1-5-21-1292501092-333717336-619646970-544 ntgroup="Administrators" unixgroup=root - I believe that samba uses the displayName attribute for Groups and my problem is that I have 2 Groups with that display name. The sambaSID: S-1-5-32-544 of the Administrators group isn't correct. The sambaSID should be the full domain SID and the RID right? Thus my conclusion is that I should get rid of the one that came from net rpc vampire and keep the 'cn=root,ou=Groups,o=Domain,c=US And then I repeat for all groups which have more than 1 entry in the net groupmap list. Correct? Craig
