Actually, in the case of disparate usernames between Windows and Unix accounts, that's exactly how it's done (or CAN be done).
At my previous job, I was using Samba+Winbindd to allow Unix share access to Windows/AD accounts; the file specified in the "username map" parameter contained a bunch of entries like this: # format: unixuser = windowsuser PUNTR = rlpunt and my samba parameter looked like this: username map = /opt/etc/samba/users.map HTH, ~rlp >>> Mike Partyka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/31/2005 8:17:33 AM >>> I have joined samba to a 2003 active directory server. If a samba shared dir is owned by root, how does active directory manage it? more specifically, how are the permissions mapped? administrator to root? i have seen reference to a parameter in smb.conf to "username map", but i don't see reference to it in either of the John Terpstra Samba books so that can't be the bridge between windows and linux permisssions.
