Greetings all .. I'm trying to understand the usage of things like 'idmap' and group maps in Samba. If there's someone out there patient enough to explain it .. it'll be great.
Is it possible to use 'idmap' alone without winbind/pam/nsswitch? When would someone do that? What use are gourp maps for? Is it only used if Samba is the domain controller? If yes, how can it be usefull if shares can't be specified by the NT group membership not unix's? If Samba is't acting as a domain controller can group maps still be usefull? how? Last, and probably a silly one, why is winbind a daeomon? Isn't a PAM library engough to do the job? I mean, if no authentication requests are being served, what does winbind set there and do all the time? Many thanks .. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
