Hello, I've been using samba-3alpha22 as a PDC authenticating against LDAP. I am trying to add NT Groups using the smbgroupedit utility.
It seems to me that smbgroupedit always looks in /etc/group and does not take into account the ldap configuration options specified in smb.conf. The relevant ldap entries are: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ebola/ ldap suffix="dc=datasoft, dc=com" ldap admin dn = "cn=root, dc=datasoft, dc=com" ldap ssl = off ldap passwd sync = yes ldap trust ids = yes Regardless of whether I have an entry in LDAP that belongs in the posixGroup and/or posixAccount ObjectClasses, it looks like smbgroupedit only consults /etc/group # ./smbgroupedit -a nyNewGroup -t d unix group nyNewGroup doesn't exist! I would also expect that smbgroupedit would try to add new groups in LDAP, if entries for them where not already there. Does anybody know what the status of this utility is ? I have noticed the "add group script", "add user to group script", and "add user script" configuration parameters, and in the examples of those the /usr/local/samba/bin/add_user script is listed, while no such utility is shipped with the samba3-alpha22 source. What is the samba designated utility (if there is one) for adding groups to the *authentication database* that is independent of what that database is (pwdb/LDAP) ?
