[Samba] Active directory, winbind, and distribution groups (as opposed to security groups)

2007-03-21 Thread Vincent Deffontaines

Greetings,

This is about a samba installation plugged on Active directory.

I would like to bounce on :
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-January/099472.html

I understand distribution groups are not real groups, as Unix people 
mean them. Distribution groups are, by design, only related to mailing 
lists, or so.


My question is pretty simple :
Is there a way to list the security groups of a domain?

getent group as well as wbinfo -g list both security and 
distribution groups.


Either a command line switch on wbinfo, or a smb.conf parameter would be 
good, in order to list only security groups.


Since I have not found this in the docs, does this exist? Does this 
question make sense?


BR,

Vincent

If getent group lists distribution groups, we may have a bug, are you
sure of that?

Simo.



Versions in use here are :
- Windows server 2003 SP1
- Samba / winbind 3.0.14a (from debian sarge).

I just tested it with 3.0.22 (from ubuntu dapper), and distribution 
groups *don't* show up.


Sorry for opening the topic before testing this on a recent release.

This topic is closed AFAI am concerned, and hopefully contains keywords 
for future generations ;)
