samba - Mar 2010 - Samba3 and admin users

Hi to all,

We did an upgrade of samba.
Now, we use samba3.
Previously, the smb.conf was configured like that:

[global]
...
admin users = @somepeople
...
This would not be possible with samba3.

How to solve this problem ?

Regards

You want the 'net groupmap' command.

`net groupmap add unixgroup=somepeople ntgroup="Domain Admins"` or 
similar should do the trick, I think, though it's a while since I had to.
