Hello everybody.
I have configured a linux box with samba 3.0.25b
It's joined to a windows nt4 domain. It's running
winbindd.
Now I would like to create a local group with 'net
sam createlocalgroup group_name' and adding members
from the windows nt4 domain. I need this local group
so I can assign permission to file/directories.
This is my smb.conf:

[global]
   workgroup = nt4domain
   server string = Samba on Slackware Linux
  idmap uid = 10000-100000000
  idmap gid = 10000-100000000
  idmap alloc backend = tdb
  idmap config:range = 10000 - 100000000
   security = domain

and when I issue 'net sam createlocalgroup group_name'
I get this error message:

Am I missing anything?
