Back again to working out ADS groupmapping. Environment WK2 server, FreeBSD 5.2.1 with Samba 3.0.6. Net ads join works. Lildude is in ADS computer CN. Now, when doing: net groupmap add unixgroup=admin ntgroup=Administrators I get the following. lildude# net groupmap add unixgroup=admin ntgroup=Administrators [2004/08/26 09:28:19, 0] param/loadparm.c:map_parameter(2449) Unknown parameter encountered: "default_keytab_name" [2004/08/26 09:28:19, 0] param/loadparm.c:lp_do_parameter(3139) Ignoring unknown parameter "default_keytab_name" No rid or sid specified, choosing algorithmic mapping [2004/08/26 09:28:19, 0] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_connect_system(796) failed to bind to server with dn= Error: Can't contact LDAP server (unknown) [2004/08/26 09:28:35, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_group(1873) ldapsam_search_one_group: Problem during the LDAP search: LDAP error: (unknown) (Timed out) [2004/08/26 09:28:51, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_group(1873) ldapsam_search_one_group: Problem during the LDAP search: LDAP error: (unknown) (Timed out) [2004/08/26 09:29:07, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_group(1873) ldapsam_search_one_group: Problem during the LDAP search: LDAP error: (unknown) (Timed out) [2004/08/26 09:29:23, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_group(1873) ldapsam_search_one_group: Problem during the LDAP search: LDAP error: (unknown) (Timed out) ^C lildude# I'm either missing/misconfigured a conf file or missing something else.
