Hello,

I've just seen this thread..

I had exactly the same problem and posted on it a few weeks ago. I
obviously didn't express it clearly enough, but I asked for an
explanation of the group mapping stuff in samba 3.0.20 because it
doesn't seem to be documented, especially the fact that samba won't
start if the builtin groups aren't mapped. Here is an extract from my
posting:


> I may be missing something, but it seems that there has been a change

> anyone confirm this as a new requirement or am I being a bit stupid?
