Hello, I got a Samba setup with an samba server being part of a Windows Domain, which is working great. I can authenticate using all domain users and so on without any problem. Now I added a local group named "rai-additional" to my samba system and added a domain user to that group (using DOMAIN+username). "getent passwd DOMAIN+username" the domain groups and "rai-additional" as groups, which is exactly what I want. Unfortunately, when I set "valid users = @rai-additional", the user DOMAIN+username cannot access the share. It works if I use a domain group, e.g. "valid users = @DOMAIN+some-group". So it seems Samba just ignores local groups. That also seems the conclusion made some other times in the past (unfortunately, all of them around two years ago) [1].
Now my question would be: is there a workaround for this or is this planned for a future samba release? Or am I just doing something wrong and it is already possible? Unfortunately, I couldn't find any notice of that in the official documentation (maybe I just use the right search words?) Thank you for your help!
