Hi, I have a question regarding an issue I am having with our new Samba PDC. We used to be running an NT domain controller and about two months ago, I made the transition to a Debian linux box running Samba. The PDC is currently running Samba 3.0.8. My samba PDC is using the tdbsam backend and, for the most part is working flawlessly. However, when using smbpasswd to add samba accounts, I

Hi all ! This is a patch for Group mapping bug #1 reported here : http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-January/034057.html It activates users' primary group SID update when adding/modifying/deleting a group mapping. It patches utils/net_groupmap.c (net_groupmap_add, net_groupmap_modify, net_groupmap_delete) and can be applied to samba-3.0.2rc1. net_groupmap_add : Scan users

Hi all. I'm having another go at using the vampire functionality to move our NT4 domain to samba. I've hit the same problem as 3 years ago - spaces in names ( group names for us ). I believe there are some useradd scripts floating around that deal with this, but I can't find them ( spent 1/2 an hour on google, honest ). Does anyone have one handy? How about adding scripts like

Hi all.
