Hi there,
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
Unfortunately, I must be missing something, I did delete the group_mappings.tdb and re-create my groups. This has not improved the situation unfortunately.
Where else might I look?
...
I saw a problem like this when testing Samba 3 on Solaris 9. I had to make sure that the "domain admin" group mapped to the unix group that I wanted *and* that unix group had to be the PRIMARY group for the user in question.
Under Samba 2 I had several users that were in the unix "ntadmin" group as one of their secondary groups and my smb.conf was set accordingly. Everything worked as expected.
Under Samba 3 I mapped the "Domain Admin" group o the same unix group - but the users never received the administrative privileges. I payed around for a bit and finally tried mapping "Domain Admin" to my primary group and then I was able to receive the administrative privileges.
I asked on the list at the time if this was the expected behavior - which is to say Samba ignored the user's secondary group for this role, or if I had happened upon a bug. I did not receive an answer at the time.
