similar to: Mapping Windows groups to Unix ones on Samba 2.2

Hi John T. et al., here is my comment about the Samba-Guide chapter 10. In my opinion this chapter is a good place to explain the nature of Samba: joining the unix and the windows world by mapping. In most of the cases discussed on this list a unix server is used only as a container for the windows world. The Samba team tries to smooth the differences between unix and windows and to put windows

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

New to list sorry if this has been address but didn't see it in recent archives. FC1 with Samba 3.0.2 I had an older RH73 system running samba 2 on it and recent moved up to FC and samba 3. Most everything transfered over well. I just took my smb.comf from the old system and put it on the new system and then ran swat making sure I didn't forget anything. Restarted server and wow... It

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

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. Here is my dumb questions about Samba as follows. 1. Is CENTOS4.6+SAMBA3.0.25 as PDC +FEDORA-DS possible? 2. Is this HOWTO from

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 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. First I found Chapter 12 cxl "How to make Samba PDC users member of the Domain Admins group" - made the nonroot user member of

Hi, I've got an interesting problem with my Samba 3.0.2a on Debian Woody. I've created the Domain Admins group as I could read in the documentation, and I added a user to this group called "star". If I login to a Windows 2000 workstation, which is a member of the domain, I can login, but I don't have administrator rights on this workstation. The Domain Admins group is a

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

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

Hello. After fresh install. Samba and ldap seems to run normally ( I can join win2k workstation to linux samba pdc ). Using yast I create a system group named domadmin But I am unable to map "Domain Admins" to domadmin I am unable to map "Domain Admins" to existing ntadmin group I am unable to mofify mapping "Domain Admins" to domadmin group Thank you for

Hi list, I'm trying to set up a samba server and have run into a problem: Whenever I try to access a share other than /home/<user> I get a message saying that this resource is nonexistant on the server... I have problems getting "net groupmap modify" work, the commands I'm using is: net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=root net groupmap modify

Hi I have samba 3.0.14a (debian/stable) and wonder where the problem is that running this command: # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=512 type=d gives: adding entry for group Domain Admins failed! but (note changed rid) # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=1000 type=d works fine. Hm, winbind is not working, but I

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.

We would like to migrate grom Winnt 4.0 to Samba 3 with ldap support. We have installed openldap on Rh 2.1 AS and created starting databases with IDEALX.org scripts. Now i have added computer to domain no problems and than I tried to migrate users and groups, but only user migrate but there is a problem " Primary group of Administrator has no mapping!" ( this is error for every user).

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, We have some computers from a lab that the operating system is ubuntu and are in the domain. I need the "alunos" group to have permissions in the tty and dialout group, since they need to use some arduinos. I have tried the following: net groupmap add ntgroup=alunos sid=1121 type=domain unixgroup=tty net groupmap add ntgroup=alunos sid=1121 type=domain unixgroup=dialout But

Hello everybody. I have noted a strange problem when using Usrmgr.exe (from srvtools). The problem arise when a net groupmap is done on a group for which a user exist with the same name that the specified unixgroup. For example, lets say that I have the following UNIX user and group create on my Samba server : joe (in /etc/group) joe (in /etc/passwd) Now I create the following map : net

Hello all, I am having a some problems with groups. If I use this command "net rpc group list -Uroot%not24get" as the root users I get an error. "Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 The username or password was not correct" If I try to add groups I also get the same error. and I don't know if this is relevent or not but when I try to join win groups and Unix groups
