Hello,
I've set up a Samba 3.0.2a domain member server on an existing Windows
NT4 domain utilizing Winbind to resolve user authentication to my server.
I would like to create local groups on my Samba server containing users
from the NT domain to control access to shares on the Samba server. I've
googled for a couple days trying to find something that will help me do
this, but the suggestions I've found (use gpasswd to add domain users to a
local group) have failed (error saying user not found). Has any progress
been made towards this end, or is it planned for any future release? I am
unable to create groups on the domain to facilitate access control that
way. Is Winbind limited to only using domain groups, or is the limitation
within the Linux OS itself to understand the domain user concept? Any
insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank,
