[Samba] realmd and net rpc privileges

Hai, 

>thus, the password of SAMDOM\Administrator is the 
>mapped (root) pw.
No, not correct. 
root has its password. 
Administrator has it own password, even when mapped these are different. 
these users just share the same uid 0 ! 

test with kinit Administrator at YOUR.REALM.TLD 

and have a look here.

http://funwithlinux.net/2014/04/join-ubuntu-14-04-to-active-directory-domain-using-realmd/ 

make sure your /etc/hosts does NOT contain something like : 

127.0.0.1 dc1.server.tld dc1 
but 
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
and only the real server ip with hostname in hosts 

as extra info :
Avoid a lot of the problems can be resolved by adding this section (in addition to disabling automatic-install) in /etc/realmd.conf: 

[my.domain.fqdn.here]
 fully-qualified-names = no

Then I do:
 kinit myuser at MY.DOMAIN.FQDN.HERE

and:
 realm join my.domain.fqdn.here

optional if you cant join install package : packagekit  

and this all said, if all of above works, and you did join the AD and your resolving is correct, 
then net rpc rights list 
should work fine. 
if not, wel, then i dont know., i dont use sssd and realmd.

Greetz, 

Louis
