Although I will be updating this server to Samba 3.x soon, I have to come up with a quick solution as soon as possible for the following problem:
I have a WinXP user which currently is registered as a "User" of WinXP but must be changed to "Domain Admin" in order for some new software which he must use to be operable. Of course giving him the root passwd is definately out of the question. I already have the "domain admin group = @domadm" parameter in my smb.conf file and the only memeber of domadm is root. I added via YAST the user to domadm group as well (was only a member of "users" group) but when I try to use any Admin issues in WinXP when the user logs in, I see that he doesn't have the priviledges required. It appears that the user is not an admin user as stated in smb.conf. I have also tried "domain admin group = @domadm johnq" as well (where johnyq is the username of the user which logs in) but still nothing! Does the user by any chance have to be a memeber only of the domadm group or can he be a memeber of users & domadm at the same time, or is this an irrelevant issue? Thank you all for your help! Chris PS: SuSE 8.1 running Samba 2.2.5. Samba is running lovely for all Win users (98, XP, 2000 etc) including the user in question, up to now that I have to give hime Admin priviledges. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
