Hi
I have just setup a samba 2.2.8.a server as a Member Server in my Windows 2000 Domain.
I want to use the security=domain option (see smb.conf below)...
But when I view the Windows permissions through the Windows security dialogue window there a 2 Major Issues.
One: it identifies all users as...... user1 {LIATH223\user1}
instead of ......... user1 {user1 at dom.dd.com}
where "dom" or "dom.dd.com" is our Windows 2000 domain, and LIATH223 is the hostname of the Samba server !
Two: When I try to "add" a user to the files permissions, it allows me to browse through the list of users, ADD, select the exact permissions,
BUT, when I click "apply" or "OK" it removes the newly added user !
Heres my smb.conf file
[global]
workgroup = DOM
security = DOMAIN
encrypt passwords = Yes
password server = domaincontroller
username map = /var/lib/domainuser.mapping
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = No
browseable = No
One final question I have is regarding the format of the domainuser.mapping file,
is it
user1 = DOM\user1
user1 = \\DOM\\user1
user1 = dom\user1 ???
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
