Hello everyone, I've been wondering if NT and UNIX username mapping can be done directly via the SAM database instead of the 'username map = <filename>' option in smb.conf.
The problem with 'username map' files is that the mappings seem to work only in one direction, namely from NT towards UNIX usernames. However, I'd like to achieve a true, bi-directional one-to-one mapping, e.g. between UNIX username 'root' and NT username 'Administrator'. The command 'pdbedit -Lv <username>' shows separate fields for both UNIX and NT usernames. (I'm using the tdbsam backend, btw.) Will Samba operate correctly if those entries contain different usernames? I've enhanced 'pdbedit' on my system so that it allows manipulation of the 'NT username' field. Is this smart or stupid? I haven't yet had the opportunity to try this in a working Samba environment. Maybe someone has technical advice or knowledge on what I'm trying to do?
