force user/group almost works. But smbd still tries to find a matching
Unix account for each username, failing with errors like this:

[2008/10/15 04:29:42,  0] passdb/pdb_get_set.c:pdb_get_group_sid(210)
  pdb_get_group_sid: Failed to find Unix account for admin
[2008/10/15 04:29:42,  1] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_sam(562)
  User admin in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

Any ideas?

Will a username map file work for what you want?  Look in manual for the 
parameter username map= in smb.conf.

Well, yes. Samba needs to map each username to a unix uid. I've  
re-read your original post and AFAIK, what you want to do is not  
possible. You'll still need to create the unix users.

[Samba] Multiple Samba accounts with the rights of a single Unix account?

2008-10-12 Thread Peter Petrov
Is it possible to have a standalone Samba server map different
username/password pairs to a single Unix account? More specifically, I'll be
using an external passdb (pdb-mysql or LDAP), and each username will only
see a home directory with the same name. But I don't want to have to create
a separate Unix account / UID for each username/password, the restriction by
directory is enough. Instead, a single Unix account will be given rights to
access all home directories, and I want Samba to use it for all
username/password pairs.

Is such a setup possible? The 'username map' option is not suitable, because
the username is translated prior to authentication, so all usernames would
share the same password.
