Hi, It says in the Samba-Howto : "Group accounts can be managed using the MS Windows NT4 or MS Windows 200x/XP Professional MMC tools. Appropriate interface scripts should be provided in smb.conf if it is desired that UNIX/Linux system accounts should be automatically created when these tools are used. In the absence of these scripts, and so long as winbindd is running, Samba group accounts that are created using these tools will be allocated UNIX UIDs/GIDs from the ID range specified by the idmap uid/idmap gid parameters in the smb.conf file. " (Chapter 11 - Features & Benefits) 1- Where can I find the scripts that will be placed in smb.conf for automatically creating users and groups. 2- What is the WindowsXP MMC-snapin that will allow me to manage users and groups in Samba PDC ? Thanks.
