Hello List,
 
As I didnt receive any answers on my first request regarding the new groupmap mechanism since samba version 3.0.23 I try it once again and more detailed.
 
Situation before upgrade to samba 3.0.28:
 
We run a solaris 9 server with samba 3.0.21 which serves a share named backup to which all domain users belonging to a special active directory group can connect and save their mail db and other data. This runs without any interaction, just net use x: \\servername\sharename. No users exist in /etc/passwd , access is handled only by Active Directory groups and the associated unix group(s). That has been realised via the net groupmap add command and worked perfectly over the years since samba version 3.0.7a ! .
 
Due to security riscs in samba we where forced to upgrade to version 3.0.28 (all the same problems since version 3.0.24) I studied the whats changed logs and samba howto`s and think I ´ve done it right , but I fear I ´ve overlooked something essential.
 
Output from net groupmap list:
-----------------------
 # net groupmap list
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-1454471165-527237240-682003330-513) -> users
sbs_ors (S-1-5-21-1454471165-527237240-682003330-133792) -> sbs_ors_ux
Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-1454471165-527237240-682003330-514) -> nobody
Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) -> 100000
adv (S-1-5-21-1454471165-527237240-682003330-48325) -> adv
Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-1454471165-527237240-682003330-512) -> ntadmin
Users (S-1-5-32-545) -> 100001
------------------------
 
output from net groupmap add command:
 
----------------------------
 
 # net groupmap add sid=S-1-5-21-1454471165-527237240-682003330-133792 ntgroup=sbs_ors unixgroup=sbs_ors_ux type=d
Successfully added group sbs_ors to the mapping db as a domain group
--------------------------------
 
This is a major group with some nested groups and I ´m a member of one , Since version 3.0.7a nested groups are supported , but I ´m not able to connect , all I get is a pop up login window , also net view \\servername fails with access denied.
Now my question ; does that configuration is still supported at all , or has it broken due to security riscs ; if not pls tell me how to proceed with new samba version, what did I overlook
 
Best Regards  Martin  Schreiber
