[Samba] setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3

Fri Dec 19 06:53:18 MST 2014

Im did not follow the complete thread, but you can check the following.

smb.conf 

   ## map id's outside to domain to tdb files.
   idmap config *:backend = tdb
   idmap config *:range = 50001-80000
   ## map ids from the domain  the range may not overlap !
   idmap config DOMAIN:backend = ad
   idmap config DOMAIN:schema_mode = rfc2307
   idmap config DOMAIN:range = 10000-40000

   winbind nss info = rfc2307
   winbind trusted domains only = no
   winbind use default domain = yes
   winbind enum users  = yes
   winbind enum groups = yes
   winbind refresh tickets = yes
   winbind offline logon = yes

nsswich.conf
passwd:         compat winbind
group:          compat winbind

optional. : idmapd.conf :  add : 
[Translation]

Method = nsswitch

test: 

wbinfo -u
wbinfo -g
wbinfo -p

hostname -s
hostname -f
hostname -d
( optional hostname -y ) 
hostname -i  ( should return the ip or your server ) 

( optional ) 
dig -x IP_OF_PROBLEM_MACHINE @YOURDC.domain.tld (or @AD_DC_IP ) 

for me : 
getent group "domain users"
domain users:x:10000:

and You did set the UNIX id on the "Domain Users" group? 

Greetz, 

Louis
