So, to make it simple, my domain is KRH, I am successfully joined, and can issue wbinfo -u or wbinfo -g and get expected results. Every query I make about the domain works However, I'm trying to add a domain user (me) to my local Print Operators group on this freebsd machine. Using Samba 3.5.6, FreeBSD 8.1 Clean install of everything yesterday. So, I'm trying to add KRH\jdown to the Print Operators group. It acts as if the command completed successfully, however, when asked to list the members of the group, it chops off the domain portion. freecups-2# net sam delmem 'Administrators' KRH\\jdown Deleted KRH\jdown from BUILTIN\Administrators freecups-2# net sam delmem 'Print Operators' KRH\\jdown Deleted KRH\jdown from BUILTIN\Print Operators freecups-2# net sam addmem 'Print Operators' 'KRH\jdown' Added KRH\jdown to BUILTIN\Print Operators freecups-2# net sam listmem 'Print Operators' BUILTIN\Print Operators has 1 members \jdown freecups-2# net sam delmem 'Print Operators' KRH\\jdown Deleted KRH\jdown from BUILTIN\Print Operators freecups-2# net sam listmem 'Print Operators' BUILTIN\Print Operators has 0 members freecups-2# net sam delmem 'Print Operators' jdown Could not find member jdown freecups-2# net sam delmem 'Print Operators' KRH+jdown Could not find member KRH+jdown freecups-2# net sam delmem 'Print Operators' KRH/jdown Could not find member KRH/jdown freecups-2# net sam delmem 'Print Operators' KRH/\jdown Could not find member KRH/jdown freecups-2# net sam delmem 'Print Operators' "KRH\jdown" Deleting local group member failed with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED freecups-2# net sam addmem 'Print Operators' "KRH\jdown" Added KRH\jdown to BUILTIN\Print Operators freecups-2# net sam listmem 'Print Operators' BUILTIN\Print Operators has 1 members \jdown My smb.conf: [global] log level = 5 workgroup = KRH realm = KRH.INT netbios aliases = freecups-2 server string = FreeCUPS-2 security = ADS password server = kal-dc3.krh.int, kal-dc4.krh.int, kal-dc2.krh.int, * ntlm auth = No client NTLMv2 auth = Yes smb ports = 139 printcap cache time = 10 printcap name = cups cups server = localhost addprinter command = /usr/local/sbin/smbaddprinter.pl deleteprinter command = /usr/local/sbin/smbdelprinter.pl local master = No domain master = No browse list = No wins server = 10.6.1.21 idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind cache time = 300 winbind use default domain = Yes winbind refresh tickets = Yes guest ok = Yes cups options = raw [homes] comment = PDF files read only = No browseable = No browsable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No browsable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /usr/home/KRH_drivers write list = root, printserver,KRH\jdown force user = printserver force group = printserver guest ok = No my krb5.conf [logging] default = SYSLOG:INFO:LOCAL7 [libdefaults] ticket_lifetime = 24000 clock_skew = 300 default_realm = KRH.INT [realms] domain.LOCAL = { kdc = kal-dc3.krh.int:88 kdc = kal-dc4.krh.int:88 kdc = kal-dc2.krh.int:88 admin_server = kal-dc4.krh.int:464 admin_server = kal-dc3.krh.int:464 admin_server = kal-dc2.krh.int:464 default_domain = krh.int } [domain_realm] .domain.local = KRH.INT domain.local = KRH.INT Now, it's almost working, and I'm hoping it's just a missed punctual mark, but... probably not. Can anyone assist? thanks, Jack
