Domain Group Map

[J.W. Fox]

Michael,

Have you added users to you adm group in the /etc/groups file and then
created a domaingroup.map file in /usr/local/samba/lib (or wherever you
installed) that has the line :

adm="Domain Admins"

Also make sure you have the following line in your smb.conf

domain group map = /usr/local/samba/lib/domaingroup.map

(or whatever directory you have samba installed int)

By doing that you will have the Domain Admins group in your NT User
Manager for Domains.

I have seen in many places you mention this is in the development code only and the FAQ tells you were to find it. But in truth the FAQ doesn't tell you exactly where to find it. Also in the book there is no mention of needing a special version.
