I have a samba 3 member server joined to a samba pdc using ldap. Join is OK.
Version is from debian wheezy: 3.6.6
With servers that are bdc's I have no problems with authentication, with
the member server I cannot get group file permissions to work.
User file permissions work fine
Samba share user and group permissions work fine
getent group shows expected groups with correct gid, which is an
improvement on the 3.5.4 that I tried before.
Only thing interesting the logs show is access denied.
BUT if I change the dir/file permission to domain users group THEN it
works.
So I think samba is only looking up the primary group. I know there was
bug like this somewhere around 3.6.0
Is "net idmap secret alloc" no longer needed? It responds with "The only
currently supported backend is LDAP". smbpasswd -w seemed to do all I
needed.
