Gerald, No worries.
This patch is required if your using Rational ClearCase and you don't want everyone to have access to it. It's to fix a brokenness (IMO) within ClearCase, and maybe other programs. Our windows primary group has 10k+ users... I will shoot it off to Rational, so they can provide it to there customers. I was hoping it could be applied to the main tree so I could just tell them to get the latest version of Samba, and it would then have the added benefit of being vetted by the experts. There is a long standing comment within the source that something like this would be nice to have as an option. Thank you for your time and consideration :) -Stephen -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Carter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 5:45 AM To: Jazdzewski, StephenX A Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [Samba] WinBind does not work well with Rational ClearCase (bug fix atta ched :) On Wed, 15 May 2002, Jazdzewski, StephenX A wrote: > Hello Samba, > > We tried to use samba-2.2.4-1 with Rational ClearCase and had a problem > using WinBind. > > ClearCase requires the primary group id to be set to the clearcase users > group. WinBind sets the primary group to something like > DOMAIN_GROUP_RID_USERS. Winbind set's the primary group to whatever is specified by the PDC. Why should we override it? I think I understand what your problem is but I'm not convinvced that this patch should be applied to the main tree. cheers, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org -- http://www.plainjoe.org "Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed.
