Hi .. Can you give more details regarding groupmaps usage.
The only difference that I've noticed after doing the mapping is the names of groups in windows security settings boxes. For example, instead of 'users' it's now showing 'Domain Users', instead of 'root' it's now showing 'Domain Admins'. Is it just this butification effect?! Underlying, the acl entries (if acl is enabled) or regular file modes are applied in the same manner regardless if mapping is done or not. Things I'm wondering about: - Do groupmaps have any effect on samba if 'domain logons' (PDC) is on? - Do groupmaps and idmaps realte (functionally) to each other in any manner?
