As far as the policy editor goes, isn't that just a file you stick in NetLogon, I odn't think that has anything to do with samba. Secondly, as far as I know samba 2.2.x is limited in its capacity to store groups. Although no one has given me a straight answer from what I've been reading, samba 3.0 seems to fully support NT4 domain structures now, including groups. So if this were true then yes you should be able to do it. The one thing that might catch you tho, is weather you can poledit on something other than an NT server, for the domain.

Hey,

Quick question. We run Samba 2.2.8, is there a version of Samba (2.2.x/3.x) that allows me to do the following :

Go into Poledit, add a group that corresponds to a UNIX group (e.g. Staff) and set policies on it, having those policies apply to ANYONE in UNIX group 'staff' ?

The samba server we have is the only PDC and have several NT4 servers as members only.

Any thoughts?

I apologise if this has been asked before or if there's an obvious answer, if you can point me just to somewhere I can get my answer, I'll happily do the leg-work myself. But so far I haven't found my answer by looking on the web.

Thanking you in advance,

Mr. K. Hawkes
