I am using smbpasswd method. For users and groups in my smb.conf file, I have the following options: add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m '%u' delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r '%u' add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd '%g' delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel '%g' add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G '%g' '%u' When I attempt to add users with the SRVTOOLS UsrMgr.exe I get a "group does not exist message". Also, I only see the mapped ntgroups in the group list. I do not see the unix groups in the list. The attempt to add groups to the user fails. I looked in the Terpstra books but do not see any such options such as "add group modify script" or "add user modify script" so I assume these do not exist. Are there any options I am not using that is causing this failure? Anybody else out there using SRVTOOLS on a XP client to a Samba3 (3.0.20b) with smbpasswd as the authentication mode successfully?
