Regular desktop users on ubuntu are members of these groups: adm,dialout,cdrom,floppy,audio,dip,video,plugdev,fuse
Membership in these groups allows access to various important things. When my domain users log in their primary group is set to domainusers, because that's what group I put them in on the samba server. More to the point I set up a groupmap so that samba transmits this info to the client machine. Question: how do I set things up so that the members of domainusers will also be members of the other groups? If I try to simply add the domain users to the local groups, I get an error: no such user. If I create the corresponding groups on the samba server and groupmap them, won't that cause conflicts? -- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Jeff LePage Sent: Sun 8/3/2008 11:25 AM To: Helmut Hullen; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Samba] wbinfo -u and -g work, getent passwd works,getent group DOES NOT WORK (solution!) Hello all. I found the problem. I had winbind running on the PDC. I don't know why it was running, but when I turn if off on the server I get all my groups on the clients. Honestly I don't remember installing or setting it up. Anyway, I logged in as domain user bob4, which has bob4 as the group. The client automatically created the home directory and set up everything correctly. woohoo. Helmut had it right when he suggested turning off winbind. I thought he was talking about winbind on the client. Here's my listing: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pwd /home/ORA/bob4 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -altr total 20 -rw-r--r-- 1 bob4 bob4 586 2008-08-03 09:16 .profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 bob4 bob4 26 2008-08-03 09:16 Examples -> /usr/share/example-content -rw-r--r-- 1 bob4 bob4 2940 2008-08-03 09:16 .bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 bob4 bob4 220 2008-08-03 09:16 .bash_logout drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2008-08-03 09:16 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 bob4 bob4 4096 2008-08-03 09:16 . So. In conclusion, winbind on server BAD, winbind on client GOOD. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Helmut Hullen Sent: Sat 8/2/2008 11:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Samba] wbinfo -u and -g work, getent passwd works,getent group DOES NOT WORK Hallo, John, Du (drescherjm) meintest am 02.08.08: >> My LANs (Linux Samba server 3.0.3x, Windows clients) run without it. > I have found that if you have domain member servers in addition to > your PDC and BDCs you will need winbind if you want to have ACLs > working correctly in windows.
