[Samba] Adding a AD Group to a Unix user account

[Schneider, Craig-P65851]

I think the problem is that the usermod program used the /etc files, and
not NSS. So, you are trying to add "bobby" to the "Domain Users" group
in /etc/group, but that group doesn't exit there. I found that using
Linux ACLs with multiple groups assigned to files was an acceptable work
around for my needs.

Hi Guys,

First of all I can do the following:

"usermod -g GID bobby" and it adds the group to the user account fine
(GID being the actual number value not the name).

but if i don't use -g it fails to work, I want to ADD the group "Domain
Users" to "bobbys" account, so I tried:

"usermod -a -G GID bobby" but it doesnt not appear to do anything...


Anyone got any ideas?

Many Thanks!

James
