I had a configuration that worked pre .23 but now suddenly did not work.
What I needed to know was that with .23 it is ESSENTIAL that groupmap
settings are made for a small number of groups.
Even better, it would have been good to know that without those groupmap
settings, users would not be able to log on.
Could someone explain why these group maps are essential, and exactly
why the lack of them made logins break for Chris's network? Does it have
anything to do with roaming profiles?
I ask because I have a very similar setup. I am running 3.0.23c
(upgraded from .21something, and .14 before that). I have never mapped
any groups by hand and I have not experienced any problems with logins.
I double checked today, and both 'net group' and 'net groupmap list'
return nothing (no groups defined).
I'm not trying to be devil's advocate here. It really seems like Chris
may have had a special situation that caused his problems. If that is
the case, it would be beneficial to identify it, and perhaps that info
could go into the release notes for future versions.
On the other hand, if I'm the special case, I'd like to figure out why
so I don't have problems in the future.
