Recent Upgrade to Fix SNAP Server Problem

[Irving Carrion]

The problem was that I could not see the domain users list in the SNAP
with Samba version 2.2.3a.  So..... I was told that if I upgraded to the
latest SAMBA cvs version that it will work.  And it does work now, it's
just that A LOT of other things don't (Like DOMAIN ADMINS...yes I did
man smbgroupedit... and still no go).  And, some of the documentation is
wrong so I'm pretty much stuck.  My only option is to mess around with
the code (Although I no C/C++... NO THANKS!).  

I could always go back to the previous version I had but then what is
the guarantee that your patch works....

Anyway this is free software... so what do I expect?  

I still have the utmost respect for all open-source developers who do
this on their free time. 

Thanks!
IRV

Are you only having these problems when going through the SNAP server?
If you 
need snaps to authenticate via 2.2.x, I have a patch for that, but the
domain 
group list doesn't work.

If you're using 3.0 for another reason, the SNAPs use an older API that 
doesn't (yet) get the group names for a user through the new groupdb or
group 
mapping mechanisms in 3.0.   

Also, I think the new group mapping mechanism will take precedence over
the 
domain admin group. See the group-mapping howto for more details.

PS: If someone can point out the preferred mechanism for taking a user
name 
and turning it into a list of groups, I can fix that rNetUserGetGroups
API to 
do so.  I have some code to use the groupdb.c stuff, but last time I
checked 
that wasn't being used anywhere else.
