| ./net groupmap list

| Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-2314933419-357499204-1604414191-512) -> root

The problem is actually that Windows does not allow a user and
group to have the same name.  You must assign a different display
name to group map entry.

This is strange though.  I'll look into it some more.

|
| [root at dm bin]# ./net groupmap modify
| sid=S-1-5-21-1953428550-3027608681-49554636-512 unixgroup=root
| Updated mapping entry for Domain Admins
| [root at dm bin]# ./net rpc rights grant 'TEST\dm' SePrintOperatorPrivilege
| Password:
| Successfully granted rights.

Thanks for the feedback.




cheers, jerry
