[Samba] Samba groups vs Linux groups.

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Correctly seen. 

This one is handy to know..
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_and_Group_management 

In smb.conf you have these 2. 
 
    winbind enum users  = no
    winbind enum groups = no
Set to yes and you "see" the groups/users in getent 
But this slows down you samba, the system knows the users are there. 

So test with : 
    winbind enum users  = yes
    winbind enum groups = yes

And when all looks good and works, set it to no again. 
Also info here :

Search for : winbind enumerate

> MYDOMAIN\cert publishers
> MYDOMAIN\ras and ias servers
> MYDOMAIN\allowed rodc password replication group
> MYDOMAIN\denied rodc password replication group
> MYDOMAIN\dnsadmins
> MYDOMAIN\enterprise read-only domain controllers
> MYDOMAIN\domain admins
> MYDOMAIN\domain users
> MYDOMAIN\domain guests
> MYDOMAIN\domain computers
> MYDOMAIN\domain controllers
> MYDOMAIN\schema admins
> MYDOMAIN\enterprise admins
> MYDOMAIN\group policy creator owners
> MYDOMAIN\read-only domain controllers
> MYDOMAIN\dnsupdateproxy
