Hello,
After following the winbind-related steps in the SAMBA 3 howto, I was able to achieve console logins on the Linux workstation by any domain user; Great! Now, I've come to the issue of expecting that a "Domain Admin" should be able to administer the Linux workstation much like a "Domain Admin" administers a Windows workstation on a domain. I've seen several examples where the domain admin users are added to the "root" group for the Linux workstation; the problem is, that most files/commands on the (Fedora) Linux workstation are, by default, "usable" only by the root user and not by the root group; i.e. /etc/passwd has file permissions: -rw-r--r-- Therefore, the root user can write to it but the root group can't; One thing I thought of was to run a script that updates the system so that all files owned by root are changed so that the root group has the same permissions as the root user for that file...but I don't think that's a good solution because I'll probably have to run that script every time I install something new. Has anyone got suggestions/ideas/comments? Kevin -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
