Fwd: Re: [Samba] Problem in fetching usernames of a group

[Chin Teongli]

Thanks Sir,
just inquisitive, because in a similar PDC configured on NT, I can have
groupnames similar to usernames. Also because this is done through a script
from web I was getting problems... however now I know it shouldnt be done so
I will have to validate that, but a similar validation or some error string
displayed from the command itself would be usefull..

regards
