So why not the built-in CIFS support in OpenSolaris? Probably has a similar issue, but still. >I found a bug in active directory integration mode, where if a user is in >more than 32 active directory groups, samba calls setgroups with a group >list of greater than 32, which fails, resulting in the user having >absolutely no group privileges beyond their primary group. That's not nice and that should be fixed even when the OS doesn't support more than 32 bits. How many groups do you want? >They keep telling me that support for more than 32 groups in Solaris is not >a bug, but rather an RFE.

What's the bug number? Casper _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
