Samba - User Group Mappings

Asked by mundyl in Debian Linux, Linux Administration, Linux Setup

Tags: , ,

I'm currently configuring a Samba server on a Debian box and everything is going fine at the moment, except for this small issue.

Basically I need my users to have their primary unix group set to various different groups, but I also need them to be power users on their windows machines. Each user is part of the mapped power users group, but they do not have power user access on the domain unless I set their primary user group to the mapped group. This causes problems however as I need them in their existing groups.

Is there a way to map more than on unix group to a single samba group? Or is there some other way I can do this?Start Free Trial
