similar to: domain admin users?

Considering the following page... http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/small.html First of, my compliments to John for some great examples to study. In my mind I see three levels of security: 1) Linux - such as SSH'ing into the Linux server, Linux accounts and groups come into play here 2) Samba PDC - "Domain Admins" "Domain Users" come into play here. Examples

Firstly I apologise for the length of this query but I am hoping that if I document everything I did someone might respond / be able to help. My Configuration is Samba 3.0.2a as a PDC on Redhat 8. I cannot for the life of me get the "Domain Admins" functionality to work I am hoping that another set of eyes can shed some light on this problem as I have now spent 41 hrs googling /

Hello list last week we upgraded a 2.2 samba installation to the latest 3.024 release (with CUPS as printing backend). till now we granted some users the right to cancel printer queues from others with 'printer admin = printadmins' in smb.conf. I read through the changes-list and realized that 'printer admin' is now deprecated. I read through the Samba-book, the Howto-sections

I've got a Fedora Core 2 box running Samba smbd version 3.0.7-2.FC2. I've set it up as a Domain master for a new domain. I setup a Win2K Server box and had it join the domain. I made an "administrator" user, I mapped the groups via: net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admins net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users I

I have a bunch of Windows users using a Win2k server as a PDC. I want to move all the server functions to a Samba server without disturbing the users in any way. The client machines are all Win2k, using local profiles. Samba insists on algorithmicly generating the RID from the UID, so the Windows user, after migration, gets a new SID and loses contact with their local profile. In fact, they

Hello, i have some problems migrating a Windows 2000 PDC to a Debian GNU/Linux Samba Server, i want to migrate it to a LDAP backend.. but as i'm kind of newbie with ldap and samba migration stuff, i preffered to migrate it to tdbsam first and try it for a while, if everything works fine, then switch to a ldap backend. The problem is that Essential Windows Groups are automatically created, so

Dear all, When I create a share with the "admin users" permission (see smb.conf) and map a drive to it from win2k, it does not allow me to: Edit files Create files Remove files Add Directories Remove Directories Each time it gives me a permissions error. And I ever tried adding user1 to the UNIX group that maps to the Windows Domain Admins group: net groupmap modify

Relevant part of "net3 groupmap list" is System Operators (S-1-5-21-1617713866-2789119093-1479812082-1007) -> sys In howto there is the following example net groupmap modify ntgroup="System Operators" unixgroup=sys net groupmap modify ntgroup="Power Users" unixgroup=sys You can add System Operators but trying to add Power Users fails. If you do it in reverse

I have a Samba 3.5 server that services seven Windows 7 computers. When the setup was originally installed, all workstations were independent systems and so all users had local administrative privilege. I have removed admin rights from all users but one. This user has a problem. We'll call the user 'dmc' though that isn't his real username. In any event, dmc is a member of the

Hello I have been solving a problem how to make a nonroot user able to administer the domain (add users, groups, modify them etc.) from Windows workstation using usrmgr.exe It looks like what is stated in Samba HOWTO collection as prerequisites is not enough.

Hi I am new to linux & Samba. I would like to setup Samba as a domain controller and using Fedora-ds for authentication. I have read some documents from www.samba.org but I am still in the mist.

Hi all, Now that I've got Samba 2.2.12 running correctly on that HP-UX box, I need to allow write access to a given AD domain group. What is the right way to do it on Samba 2.2? I added a group.map file in smb.conf, and a line inside that said: unixgroup = "AD Domain Group" Then in smb.conf, I put in [global]: groupname map = /etc/opt/samba/group.map And in the correct

Hi, Before Samba 3.0.0 RC4 I was running Samba 3.0.0 beta3, and when I upgraded to RC4, I began having problems with group mappings. I didn't notice at first, because on my laptop I don't normally log on to the domain. I just noticed when I tried to use my desktop and log on to the domain... I don't have Domain Admin privileges. So, I look at 'net groupmap list' ... and it

Hi Everyone, I have a small project going on. I'm about to migrate Redhat 7.3 to Debian Etch (smbd version 3.0.23d-2+b1). I've already managed to migrate Redhat 7.3 to Debian Sarge (smbd version 3.0.14a-) without any bigger problems. However, when I migrate to Etch I face a small problem. The last thing I want to do before I start samba is to grant my linux/samba admin, NT 'Domain

I'm having a problem with Roaming profiles in Windows XP with Samba as PDC. I've googled and trolled the mailing lists and read the Samba documentation. Problem: User logs onto domain from WinXP client and profile is downloaded (you can tell because it takes a long time and lights on hub are lit up). However, unless that user is in the admin group locally, all/some of the profile
