similar to: Map nt group everyone to samba

How does samba handle NT usernames that contains spaces. Also NT can have long usernames while Linux can only have 8-10 character long usernames. Is there anyway you can map those long usernames to Linux? Thanks MattB

I don't know if samba will allow this but. I want to set user permissions on directories and files using the accesslist in the properties menu under Windows NT. I don't know if this is possible with Samba. I read something about ACL support but I can't seem to be able to compile it into samba. ./configure --with-acl-support Not sure if the string is correct. Any pointers would be

Hello, I have ran into a fairly large problem. When ever i try to join to samba 2.2.5 controlled domain with my win 2k client. It says user does not exist. I checked to see of the machine trust account was setup correctly and it was. Also the username and password i used is a working user because i can logon with my 98 box just fine. The trust accounts are made, there is a domain admin user

Sorry, that should be RedHat 7.0. (Not that it should matter.) -----Original Message----- Client is Windows NT 4.0 SP6a and Adobe Photoshop 5.0. Server is RedHat 7.1, kernel 2.4.7 plus ACL 0.7.13. Samba 2.2.2.

We would like to have our Apache Linux-based web server use our existing NT domain to authenticate some of our web pages. We are using the Apache module mod_auth_pam to use pam-based authentication and then the winbind pam module to do the actual authentication. We have gotten to the point where we can authenticate using NT _users_, but we have not been able to authenticate using _groups_. For

Hi, I have exactly the same problem with my web server ... Linux/redhat 9.0 / kernel 2.4.20-20.9.1 (+ Acl patches) Samba 3.0.2a / compiles with winbind and Acl options Apache 2.0.40 / with mod_auth_pam 2.xx included Authentication to samba share from a windows workstation using Acl + winbind + "Nt domain groups" works fine. But I gave some problems when I want to use NT domain

I need to map all of my NT id's to unix usernames. It looks like you can use NIS groups in the username map file. Why can't you put an NT group in there? Shouldn't I be able to map an entire NT group to a single unix id? Danny Travis danny.travis@exxonmobil.com

I need a little better information regarding the mapping of groups between an NT PDC and a SAMBA PDC, which trust each other. On the NT machine is a group called "ntgreen." On the Linux box (running RH9 with Samba 3.0), there is a group called "lxgreen". I've done a: net groupmap add ntgroup=ntgreen unixgroup=lxgreen. The mapping shows up in a net groupmap list.

Hi, i need to add NT domain user to a local unix user; the samba server 3.0 isn't a PDC or a BDC but only a domain machine member with on share directory. Now i use ACL on filesystem to setting permissions. What i need is to setting this permissions based on local unix group and add NT domain members on this local group. Winbind works fine, so I can see domain users and domain groups, even

Hola folks, How do I configure a share under Samba 2.2 using DOMAIN security to allow all members of a specified NT domain group access to a particular share? For example, something like: [test] comment = Test Share path = /mnt/share/test nt group = Nice-users, Wonderful Users Where Nice-users and Wonderful Users are NT domain groups? So if User X is a member of Nice-users, she would be

Hi! We're using Samba as PDC, and recently had a strange crash on the system (none of the NT-machines authenticated anymore). I re-created the user database and passwords on the server (TurboLinux 2.2.14-5, with Samba 2.0.6 & 2.1alpha for auth.) and also re-newed the profiles making 'em local on the NT-workstations. Sometimes when the NT-PC gets rebooted, I can't authenticate it

Hi! I've been trying to install Samba 3.0.2a + ldapSam (Stand-Alone, not PDC) on a RedHat Enterprise Edition 3.0 as a fileserver. It works fine but I still get some errors about groups and I can't find the answers in the mailing list log: Let's explain the error: When I connect with a W2k client it works fine, but then if I try to add extra permissions to a file it complains

Hello everyone! I've been testing the 3.0 beta 3 (I've just upgraded from 2.2.7), and made a PDC configuration with Windows XP Pro clients. Everything works fine, however, I'm fine tuning the NT and Unix group mapping; in particular, I want to map the Unix group 'users' to the NT group 'Power Users'. I've tried: net groupmap modify ntgroup="Power Users"

Hello! I'm running Samba 2.2.8a on top of a ext3 filesystem with ACLs enabled. (kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r2) With ACLs disabled (i.e., mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/floppy (no -o ACL)), the Security box under windows 2000 works like I want it to with respect to the Everyone group; If I want the Linux permissions to be, say, 770 (rwxrwx---), I can select everyone and hit "Remove." The everyone

hi all, I have been troubled by this problem for a long time and really hope that someone may help by giving suggestions. I have setup Samba 2.0.5 on a "Digital" Tru64 as a file server. When I want to map a network drive with win95 or 98 everything is alright. If I use nt 4 (SP5) then the computer does not find the networkpath. I have also setup Samba 2.0.4b on my machine. The

Greetings, I'm attempting to use an NT PDC to authenticate users on restricted areas of an apache website. I have RedHat 8.0 with samba, winbind, mod_auth_pam, apache, etc. Everything seems to be working fine with the following exception: When I change from --require valid user-- to --require group "DOMAIN+GROUP NAME"--, It appears that winbind is not able to recognize the user

Thanks Mikko - pieced the 3 links you sent and got new configs... Well..I have successfully got the PAM files so NT users can login from the terminal as well as through the samba shares (no local users required), including using the NT groups to provide share level permissions. Now here is the next battle: 1. I can not access the shares using the linux local accounts --> recieve: the

Hello Samba Gurus, I have been searching for a week for a solution to this problem with no resolution thus far. I have a need to map an NT Group (a large group of NT users) to a single unix user ID. I guess I am asking for an example of the smb.conf and users.map file. We have hundreds of NT users in various user groups. For example. Example: ======== NT_Group_1 needs to map to single unix
