If I recall, in the release notes for .23, there was a note about requiring
the groupmaps since all accounts that were local to the machine running
Samba would be given a new SID (S-1-22 or something similar). I believe this
is to emulate the same local/global account setup that exists in NT4
domains.

I had a configuration that worked pre .23 but now suddenly did not work.
What I needed to know was that with .23 it is ESSENTIAL that groupmap
settings are made for a small number of groups.
Even better, it would have been good to know that without those groupmap
settings, users would not be able to log on.
Could someone explain why these group maps are essential, and exactly why
the lack of them made logins break for Chris's network? Does it have
anything to do with roaming profiles?
I ask because I have a very similar setup. I am running 3.0.23c (upgraded
from .21something, and .14 before that). I have never mapped any groups by
hand and I have not experienced any problems with logins. I double checked
today, and both 'net group' and 'net groupmap list' return nothing (no
groups defined).
I'm not trying to be devil's advocate here. It really seems like Chris may
have had a special situation that caused his problems. If that is the case,
it would be beneficial to identify it, and perhaps that info could go into
the release notes for future versions.
On the other hand, if I'm the special case, I'd like to figure out why so I
don't have problems in the future.
