group mapping and 3.0 pre21

[Irving Carrion]

I had the same problem with groups saying type = unknown.  After that
command (smbgroupedit -c "Domain Admins" -t d) it seemed to have worked.

Many Thanks!

since you're using samba3
you can simply add all your power_users to a new unix group,
map that unix group to a new domain group, 
and add the new domain group to the local power_users group on 
the workstations


it's not a big deal for me to do that because i can just roll out a new
system image with the correct group memberships...
if you can't do that you might try to figure out a way to make a logon
script that does what you want (i'm not sure that's possible)
