Ok I see it appears that the ldap entries that samba needs in the directory
are under a different O. ou=groups,o=smb,dc=unav,dc=es for example.
dn: cn=Domain Admins,ou=groups,o=smb,dc=unav,dc=es
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: sambaGroupMapping
gidNumber: 512
cn: Domain Admins
Where my user/file system groups would be under traditional ldap entries
like:
dn: cn=usrgrp,ou=Group,dc=ct,dc=unav,dc=es
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: top
cn: usrgrp
userPassword:: e2NyexB0fX9g=
gidNumber: 512
creatorsName: cn=Manager, dc=ct,dc=unav,dc=es
createTimestamp: 20021007160601Z
modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=ct,dc=unav,dc=es
modifyTimestamp: 20081205192619Z
This right?
Thanks
Derek

No, it doesn't. RID != GID. A RID is a component of the SID and SIDs are
mapped to UIDs & GIDs.

Not necessary.
