[Samba] using chown on server with Domain username

[Jeff Dickens]

Just replied to another thread with the same problem...

This is on a member server, not the DC.

No the second chgrp command with the escaped space doesn't work.

Getent returns big numbers for the uids and gids.... too big, I think.

root at florence:/home# getent passwd Administrator
administrator:*:4294967295:4294967295::/home/IOL/administrator:/bin/false
root at florence:/home# getent group Domain\ Users
domain users:x:4294967295:
