The problem was that I could not see the domain users list in the SNAP with Samba version 2.2.3a. So..... I was told that if I upgraded to the latest SAMBA cvs version that it will work. And it does work now, it's just that A LOT of other things don't (Like DOMAIN ADMINS...yes I did man smbgroupedit... and still no go). And, some of the documentation is wrong so I'm pretty much stuck. My only option is to mess around with the code (Although I no C/C++... NO THANKS!).
I could always go back to the previous version I had but then what is the guarantee that your patch works.... Anyway this is free software... so what do I expect? I still have the utmost respect for all open-source developers who do this on their free time. Thanks!

If you need snaps to authenticate via 2.2.x, I have a patch for that, but the domain group list doesn't work. If you're using 3.0 for another reason, the SNAPs use an older API that doesn't (yet) get the group names for a user through the new groupdb or group mapping mechanisms in 3.0. Also, I think the new group mapping mechanism will take precedence over the domain admin group. See the group-mapping howto for more details. Kevin Stefanik PS: If someone can point out the preferred mechanism for taking a user name and turning it into a list of groups, I can fix that rNetUserGetGroups API to do so. I have some code to use the groupdb.c stuff, but last time I checked that wasn't being used anywhere else.
