Ok, seems to be a problem with the groups, and its not relly limited to
3.0.5, it happened with 3.0.2a as well.
Here are the deets...
Mandrake 10
Samba 3.0.5
Add Machine Script = /usr/sbin/adduser -n -g machines -c Machine -d
/dev/null -s /bin/false -M %u
Symtoms and background
Username: mkoster
Machine name: matt-idc
Domain Groups: Sales, Finance, Marketing, Service
Login script using ifmember statements to map drives depending on group
membership
Domain name: INTLDATA
WHen I add my computer to the domain, it adds a samba user called matt-idc$
When I log on as mkoster from matt-idc$ I get the following groups relevant
to the situation
\INTLDATA\mkoster
\INTLDATA\Sales
\INTLDATA\Finance
\INTLDATA\Marketing
\INTLDATA\matt-idc$
Now I get the relevance mappings, I get the Sales, Finance, and Marketing
folders mapped, however the Service folder is not being mapped because for
some reaon my computer name became a Group, but neither the Samba Group
list, not the machin group list have matt-idc listed as a group.
I originaly though this was caused by uid and gid, since both Service and
matt-idc had the number 502 (matt-idc had uid 502, Service had gid 502)
However I changed all the special groupd to gid 1000+ and I am still getting
this problem. Now it it not directly pertaining to Service either, basicaly
when I switch things around, matt-idc$ will replace one of the 4 groups, if
I only become a member of one group, it replaces it, if I become a member of
2 it replaces one of them. I can;t seem to fix ti at all. Anyone ever had
this problem?
