[Samba] Problems regarding permissions for active directory users.
Hi, I managed to get Samba 3.0.4 running on FreeBSD together with Heimdal Kerberos and winbind to authenticate users against our active directory. As a Windows XP client access the shares, their username and group is successfully checked (I know this from smbstatus), but I cant seem to be able to set the permissions right. For example, for a public share, I want the group Domain Users ("@EUROPE+Domain Users") to be have to read permissions, and the group Domain Admins to have read/write permissions. When I manage to allow read/write for the domain admins, the domain users do not even gain access to the resource. After messing around with this for the past couple days, I suspect it has something do to with active directory users and groups not being properly mapped to UNIX users and groups. I don't know how to do this, and have been able to find very little information on this topic. It might also have something to do with my poorly configured smb.conf. Thank you for any help... //Richard. bash-2.05b# cat /usr/local/etc/smb.conf [global] workgroup = EUROPE realm = EUROPE.LOCAL server string = FreeBSD Server 01 security = ADS ldap ssl = no idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 template shell = /bin/bash winbind separator = + [public] comment = Public stuffs path = /usr/home/public valid users = '@EUROPE+Domain Admins', '@EUROPE+Domain Users' admin users = '@EUROPE+Domain Admins' read list = '@EUROPE+Domain Users' write list = '@EUROPE+Domain Admins' read only = No [volume01] comment = Volume One path = /usr/volume01 valid users = '@EUROPE+Domain Users' write list = '@EUROPE+Domain Admins' create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 bash-2.05b# ......................................................... Note: Both shares are for testing purposes - im trying as much as possible to achieve the above-stated effect.
