I have a question regarding groups that hopefully someone can lead me to a answer on:
We have a Active Directory set up in mixed mode and this AD has 2 domains in it (the top level (I'll call main) and one trusted domain (which I'll call trusted) >From a linux Fedora core 3 box: We are able to have users log into the linux box with their AD username and password We are able to have users connect to the shares on the linux samba box. We have several linux boxes that users log into with their same username and get the same uid (via ldap) What's not working though is: having permissions bassed off of groups. chgrp trusted\groupname (works) but no users ever get permissions to the group because: getent group trusted\groupname it will retrun the group name with no users (except for users in the trusted domain will show up but none from main) whereas chgrp main\groupname works and users can have permissions to the share with no problem. (but since we don't have access to add groups or users to groups on the main domain we have to use the trusted domain) There are users from the trusted domain and from the main domain in this group We have gotten groups set up but by using netgroup and /etc/groups to allow groups While this is a work around it would be nice to be able to use the groups that are already created on the AD and not have to duplicate efforts James Mauser Coordinator Computer Applications College of Engineering and Computer Science Florida Atlantic University 561-239-2546 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
