Hi,
I test samba 4 for AD authentification and file-server usage.
My file-server use posix ACL (XFS filesystem) for manage acces between
user.
So I must use some trick ("steve posix-tify script") for adding
posixAccount to activedirectory tree.
But my questions are :
who use samba 4 file-server part ?
How other sys admin permit user to store data on a server (and not on
user's workstation)?
I have more than 300 groups, more than 200 users and machines.
I have more than 800 Gb of data.
Create user or group in ADUC and after pass a "posix-tify" script)
script
will add complexity for management.
best regards
St?phane
PS : I see in smb.conf (valid for samba 4) that there is a add user
script, but I don't understand how it work !

For recent versions of Samba4: samba-tool user add stephane --uid-number=3000022 gid-number=20513 home-directory=/some/place lofin-shell=/bin/sh You only need the hack for old versions of Samba. We use a Samba 4.0.9 file server for a mix of about 80 xp and LXDE clients over cifs. It server profiles, home folders and loads of other rubbish. HTH Steve
