So, I'm in the process of transitioning our NT domain controllers over to Samba. I've never tried to get Samba to act as a full PDC before, so this is new territory for me. We still have a number of NT servers (not DC's) that have various directories owned by various NT groups and have various permissions referring to groups, which unfortunately have to remain NT. I currently have Samba configured to get the username/machine information from LDAP, and that's working great so far. One good thing that I don't really need to worry about is that we have all of the user/host/group/etc information in LDAP already, and I've written programs to keep NIS updated with information from LDAP, and we have a synchronization plugin on the current PDC that also keeps stuff updated from the same LDAP information.
The problem is that whenever I have an machine capable of NTFS, and I go to security for a file or directory, and try to give some level of access to users and groups, I see the users come up, but no groups besides the well known groups appear. If I can not somehow get Samba to serve up that list of groups, then this will definitely be a show stopper for me. It doesn't matter to me whether Samba gets the group information from LDAP or from NIS, but it does need to show that list somehow. I've done my best rummaging through the documentation, searching the web, wading through the lists, and haven't been able to find much. I'm hoping there's just something I'm missing, and someone can point out where I'm screwing up fairly easily, and any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
