[Samba] Power users on Samba 3.0.1.

[Jeff Gardiner]

Hello Emannuel, I think the thing to do is to run a script like the following:

---start of script ---

#!/bin/tcsh
/bin/net groupmap modify ntgroup="Power Users" unixgroup=powergrp

--- end of script ---


The /bin/net command is the one that comes with samba, so before I put it in 
/bin it was /usr/loca/samba/bin (I use a symlink).

ntgroup="Power Users" is the ntgroup you're setting equal to the unixgroup.
unixgroup=powergrp means powergrp is found in /etc/groups.

I believe you use this script once.  You can read more about using this script 
here:

http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/groupmapping.html

I keep a copy of my script in /etc/samba/scripts and incidentally my script 
does more than just define Power Users.  You can define other group 
equivalences.

i.e.

---start of script ---

#!/bin/tcsh
/bin/net groupmap modify ntgroup="Power Users" unixgroup=powergrp
/bin/net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=sysgrp
#/bin/net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=usersgrp

--- end of script ---

Cheers
Jeff
