The +current method (likely to change) to manage the groups is a new command called +<command>smbgroupedit</command>. +</para> + +<para> +The first immediate reason to use the group mapping on a PDC, is that +the <command>domain admin group</command> of <filename>smb.conf</filename> is +now gone.

It was some magic stuff that simply worked but didn't +scale very well for complex setups. +</para> + +<para> +Let me explain how it works on NT/W2K, to have this magic fade away. +When installing NT/W2K on a computer, the installer program creates some users +and groups. Notably the 'Administrators' group, and gives to that group some +privileges like the ability to change the date and time or to kill any process +(or close too) running on the local machine. The 'Administrator' user is a +member of the 'Administrators' group, and thus 'inherit' the 'Administrators' +group privileges. If a 'joe' user is created and become a member of the +'Administrator' group, 'joe' has exactly the same rights as 'Administrator'. +</para> + +<para> +When a NT/W2K machine is joined to a domain, during that phase, the "Domain +Administrators' group of the PDC is added to the 'Administrators' group of the +workstation.
