[Samba] Grant only one AD group to samba share ?

Thanks for the suggestion, but .. that doesn't work ...


chgrp My\ Group /media/share
chgrp: invalid group: `My Group'


"My Group" is a windows AD group, not a local linux group.  The machine is "joined" to the windows domain through "net ads join", but I don't think the security is that tightly integrated.  I don't have windows groups mapped to linux groups I've created or anything like that.    chgrp is expecting a linux group.  Right?

Probably I am missing something, or you guys need more information.  Any thoughts?

The issue I have now is: I need to grant members of a certain AD group access to share (this was supposed to be easy, but is not working) sanity check of winbind (sample output):

Answering it with invalid credentials comes back with "invalid user name or bad password", vs valid credentials says "access denied". So I know that the authentication with the domain controller is working fine, but limiting access to that group only is not.

Hi
You don't really need smb.conf to get group only entry.

Just have smb.conf with:

[share]
   comment = Testing
   path = /media/share

    read only = No

chgrp My\ Group /media/share
chmod 0770 /media/share
chmod g+s /media/share
setfacl -d -Rm g::rw /media/share

Now, only members of My Group can get into the share, no matter what you have in smb.conf. Once inside, any files created therein become group rw for My Group members.
