Hi samba gurus, I have a successful install of samba/LDAP (on FC5) and am looking at applying security templates for different groups.
I had this successfully working on my old RH9 box running samba (but not using LDAP). Using poledit, I created groups (sales, it, etc) that were the same as my linux groups, and created a Ntconfig.POL file. Referring to this article for use on poledit.exe and applying a security template to a samba domain: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Implementing_System_Policies_with_Samba On the new setup, when I create new groups using the smbldap-tools, all appears to be correct. My user can join that group and it shows up with 'id' and 'getent group'. My problem is with poledit.exe... when I create groups (for the purpose of applying security settings to my different groups) it seems as if they don't pickup the newly created groups within my LDAP directory. When I make changes to the "default users" group, those settings do apply, but any settings made to the newly created group does not. This to me would rule out a permission issue on the *.POL file. There is as setting within poledit.exe where you can browse for groups within the domain. I cannot view any non default groups (as in the ones I created after smbldap-populate - it, sales, etc). I thought that this may have had something to do with it, however, my old RH9 box cannot view additional groups either, and it worked. I'm new to Linux and samba/LDAP - so I'm not exactly sure whether I'm asking the right people. However, I thought I start with you guys and progress further if need be. Thanks for you time and thoughts on this. Regards Matthew Thompson -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
