Hi Everyone,

Looking for that little extra bit of explanation about Primary
groups, SID's and GID's. Just to help me over that final little
understanding hurdle...

Anyone know of a nice site with info? I printed out
<http://ftp.easynet.be/samba/docs/man/howto/> from stem to stern.
But this primary group thing baffles me just a little.

I need to set it so that I can connect to my Samba PDC with the
server tools of Windows NT. But I continuously get a "The specified
local group does not exist." from usermanager. Server manager is
alright though. According to Google that's because my primary group
has not been set.

I've been trying usermod -g 'group' 'user' and
"pdbedit -r -u USER
-G S-1-5-21-141977700-2934510299-2690187342-512" but nothing seems
to help...

So. If anyone can help me with some info-sites.

Thanks,
Mark
