[Samba] User Primary group problem

[Michael Barnes]

How do I establish both a user's primary NTgroup and Unixgroup when 
creating a new user?

Depending on the tool, I can set his NTgroup or his Unix group, but I 
don't seem to be able to establish both with one tool.


I'm having a little difficulty with creating users with the proper 
groups.  My login scripts are based on the user's primary group.  When I 
create a new user with usrmgr, I can set the Samba primary group but it 
has no effect on the Unix primary group.  For instance, I have a user 
John Smith who works in accounting.  In usrmgr, I create the user jsmith 
and set his primary group as acctng.  He can login and the group is 
mapped so he gets the right department drive, however, he has no rights 
to files in the drive.  I check /etc/groups and he is listed as a member 
of the acctng group.  I check pdbedit -Lv jsmith and see his group SID 
is his personal group, not the SID of the acctng group.  I fix that with 
pdbedit, but he still has no rights to files in the acctng drive.  A 
quick check of /etc/passwd shows he is still in his own primary group 
instead of acctng. I then have to go in via Webmin and change his Unix 
group.

Thanks for your ideas,

Michael
