I've been having this problem on one of my PDC's where when using usrmgr from a windows box, I get the error: The group name could not be found. Since all of the groups samba is interested in exist and since they are all mapped to the appropriate posix groups I'm not sure where to start with this one. A 'net rpc group list' gives the following: Domain Guests Domain Admins Domain Users A 'net groupmap list' provides the following: System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> -1 Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-1579542642-1944443579-1944909670-514) -> nobody Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-1579542642-1944443579-1944909670-512) -> root Power Users (S-1-5-32-547) -> -1 Print Operators (S-1-5-32-550) -> -1 Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) -> -1 Account Operators (S-1-5-32-548) -> -1 Domain Users (S-1-5-21-1579542642-1944443579-1944909670-513) -> users Backup Operators (S-1-5-32-551) -> -1 Users (S-1-5-32-545) -> -1 smb.conf relevant parts: passdb backend = tdbsam 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/bin/gpasswd -a '%u' '%g' delete user from group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -d '%u' '%g' add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d /tmp '%u' shutdown script = /var/lib/samba/scripts/shutdown.sh abort shutdown script = /sbin/shutdown -c map acl inherit = Yes What log level should I look at if required? This is running on Slackware 9.1, Samba 3.0.21b. Thanks.

We spent a good bit of time working on users and groups in the current code. cheers, jerry ====================================================================Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEdaF0IR7qMdg1EfYRAkokAKCyJccv0DLI5niw7GxdG7dla/n5DACg0Ei0 kOnY5YQHP3mKuHtnkkD4jhk=gzGi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
