[Samba] Using groups with windows

2011-04-24 Thread A.Dura

Hi,

we are using samba with ldap for our pdc.

And i was told by another admin, that when you use a windows server, you 
can only get the Domain Users and Domain Admins groups from the 
samba/ldap pdc.


So i tried to add a group, which i know exists on the server, to my 
windows server, but windows couldn't find it.


Is there a way to make other groups then domain users and domain 
admins usable under windows?


Regards,
adura

Which version of Samba are you using?  I was able to get quite a few 
groups out of LDAP from samba4, but I had to add these entries to my 
ldap.conf:


nss_map_objectclass posixGroup group
nss_map_attribute uniqueMember member

I also needed to add GID and a password  value into the sam.ldb entries 
that I wanted to flow.


In the end I found that some groups hung (not sure why) and the setup 
caused problems when I installed software (because groupadd doesn't work 
right).  So I turned off getting groups from ldap.   I am getting my 
users from ldap and this works well (except I can't get ssl to work).  
If you are using Samba3 there are lots of guides on how to do it...
