[Samba] Logon Hours with Samba PDC

[Brian Keats]

I have been searching for information about implementing Logon Hours with a 
Samba 2.2.5 PDC (or for that matter any version of SAMBA) but haven't yet 
noticed any postings or correspondence.  I have set up a a Samba PDC and 
have mapped shares, authenticated users, blah blah blah, .... everything 
seems to work fine.  I checked with 'rpcclient' to see what sort of 
information is returned from 'rpcclient -c "queryuser [rid]" [server]' and 
did notice 'logon_hrs' and 'Kickoff Time" fields returned so I assumed I 
could specifiy times during a day when a user can/cannot logon to the 
domain.  I then tried using the standard Windows tools "i.e. User Manager 
for Domains" to specifiy logon times but always receive an error "Group Name 
could not be found" when I finally click on Ok.  As a matter of fact, I get 
this error when ever I do click on OK even after just viewing the properties 
of Domain Users.  I can, however specify the account to be disbaled and this 
will disable logon's until I remove the checkbox.   So my question is, is it 
possible to specify LOGON hours and also have I missed something not obvious 
like mapping Domain Users and Domain Admins (RID's) to Unix GID's ?   Hmmm, 
just curious if anyone has ever been able to specify Logon Hours using any 
other tool ...  (or even User Manager for Domains !)
Would appeciate any feedback either through the mailing list or directly ...
