Hi, I've samba 3 running on trustix 2.2. I've added an xp sp2 client without much problems. But now I'm trying to use "administrator" user on this client for administrative purpouses (adding software, printers and so on) and I've realized that, even if in Samba the user "administrator" exists, it isn't recognised by the client as an administrator. When I add an xp client to a real windows server computer, the domain administrator is immediately recognised by the client as administrator of the client itself, with samba this is not. Why? How to fix this? Thanks. Max

If you want, you could add the domain administrator account to the admin group on your Trustix machine. This can vary from distribution to distribution, on Ubuntu the group name is 'admin' so you just add the user to that group, but this could be different on Trustix. You will have to consult your Trustix documentation on this.
First of all did you net groupmap the Groups? Did you net rpc grant rights to the Admin Group? If so: Put the administrator to the DOMAIN ADMINS GROUP on your Samba. Log in as root over your XP CLIENT on Your Samba Domain. Add the Group DOMAIN ADMINS/Yourdomain as Member of Your XP Clients Admin Group. Or add the ADMINISTRATOR/Yourdomain as Member of your XP CLIENTS Admin Group. greetings daniel -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Fri, 2 Mar 2007 16:39:17 +0100 Von: "max" <pinco_pallo_@hotmail.com> An: samba@lists.samba.org CC: Betreff: [Samba] Administrator on samba server?
