So far I'm just testing and getting the feel for it. We haven't
actually deployed or put it under load yet.
Our environment is predominatly NT with some 95/98. 95/98 work
quite happily with it, but the administration tools
(smbpasswd/rpcclient) need to have more options for NT accounts.
As it is I'm adding in a number of fields by hand.
One part I'm still trying to puzzle out is group managment and user
mapping. If I add a group that is predefined in SAMBA (e.g., Domain
Admins) rpcclient shows two instances of it and none of the changes I
make with rpcclient actually go in.
If I remove my domain group map, domain user map, and local group map
entries from smb.conf, group functionality and user mapping stop
working.
