[Samba] winbind: how to map Windows groups to existing unix groups; limit windows group to unix groups
Hi, I'm running samba 3.0.2a as a windows domain MEMBER, security=ADS. Just installed winbind last week it it looks great. However I would like to have winbind 'map' some windows groups (e.g. "Domain Users") to existing unix groups (e.g. "users"). First I thought net groupmap could be used to achieve this but this tool seems only intended to map unix groups to windows groups where samba is the Primary DC (not my case..). Also I would like winbind to ignore any windows groups that I'm not interested in. As I discovered that under Solaris/unix a user cannot have more than 16 secondary groups (NGROUPS_MAX limit = 16). Think this would need a patch to winbind ; I'm thinking of creating a groupmap.txt file that is read by winbind and only maps windows groups that are found in the first column of this file to unix groups in the second column of this file. I wouldn't mind winbind not allocating dynamic group id's at all! This seems an unnecessary feature for my purpose... Any thoughts on this or work done already? regard Leon
