+ Starting with Samba-3, new group mapping functionality is available to create associations
+ between Windows group SIDs and UNIX groups. The <b class="command">groupmap</b> subcommand
+ included with the <span class="application">net</span> tool can be used to manage these associations.
+ </p><p>
+ The new facility for mapping NT Groups to UNIX system groups allows the administrator to decide
+ which NT Domain Groups are to be exposed to MS Windows clients. Only those NT Groups that map
+ to a UNIX group that has a value other than the default (<tt class="constant">-1</tt>) will be exposed
+ in group selection lists in tools that access domain users and groups.

+<a class="indexterm" name="id2909207"></a>
+ Group accounts can be managed using the MS Windows NT4 or MS Windows 200x/XP Professional MMC tools.
+ Appropriate interface scripts should be provided in <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> if it is desired that UNIX/Linux system
+ accounts should be automatically created when these tools are used. In the absence of these scripts, and
+ so long as <b class="command">winbindd</b> is running, Samba group accounts that are created using these

+ Administrators should be aware that where <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> group interface scripts make
+ direct calls to the UNIX/Linux system tools (the shadow utilities, <b class="command">groupadd</b>,
+ <b class="command">groupdel</b>, and <b class="command">groupmod</b>), the resulting UNIX/Linux group names will be subject
+ to any limits imposed by these tools. If the tool does not allow upper case characters
+ or space characters, then the creation of an MS Windows NT4/200x style group of
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>Engineering Managers</em></span> will attempt to create an identically named
+ UNIX/Linux group, an attempt that will of course fail.
+ </p><p>
+ <a class="indexterm" name="id2909513"></a>
+ <a class="indexterm" name="id2909521"></a>
+ There are several possible work-arounds for the operating system tools limitation. One
+ method is to use a script that generates a name for the UNIX/Linux system group that
+ fits the operating system limits, and that then just passes the UNIX/Linux group ID (GID)
+ back to the calling Samba interface. This will provide a dynamic work-around solution.
+ </p><p>
+ Another work-around is to manually create a UNIX/Linux group, then manually create the
+ MS Windows NT4/200x group on the Samba server and then use the <b class="command">net groupmap</b>
+ tool to connect the two to each other.
+ </p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2909551"></a>Discussion</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>
+ When installing <span class="application">MS Windows NT4/200x</span> on a computer, the installation
+ program creates default users and groups, notably the <tt class="constant">Administrators</tt> group,
+ and gives that group privileges necessary privileges to perform essential system tasks,
+ such as the ability to change the date and time or to kill (or close) any process running on the
+ local machine.
+ </p><p>
+ <a class="indexterm" name="id2909584"></a>
+ The <tt class="constant">Administrator</tt> user is a member of the <tt class="constant">Administrators</tt> group, and thus inherits
+ <tt class="constant">Administrators</tt> group privileges. If a <tt class="constant">joe</tt> user is created to be a member of the
+ <tt class="constant">Administrators</tt> group, <tt class="constant">joe</tt> has exactly the same rights as the user,
+ <tt class="constant">Administrator</tt>.
+ </p><p>
+ When an MS Windows NT4/200x/XP machine is made a Domain Member, the &#8220;<span class="quote">Domain Admins</span>&#8221; group of the
+ PDC is added to the local <tt class="constant">Administrators</tt> group of the workstation. Every member of the
+ <tt class="constant">Domain Administrators</tt> group inherits the rights of the local <tt class="constant">Administrators</tt> group when
+ logging on the workstation.
+ </p><p>
+ The following steps describe how to make Samba PDC users members of the <tt class="constant">Domain Admins</tt> group?
+ </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>
+ Create a UNIX group (usually in <tt class="filename">/etc/group</tt>), let's call it <tt class="constant">domadm</tt>.
+ </p></li><li><p>
+ Add to this group the users that must be &#8220;<span class="quote">Administrators</span>&#8221;. For example,
+ if you want <tt class="constant">joe, john</tt> and <tt class="constant">mary</tt> to be administrators,
+ your entry in <tt class="filename">/etc/group</tt> will look like this:
+ </p><pre class="programlisting">
+ domadm:x:502:joe,john,mary
+ </pre><p>
+ </p></li><li><p>
+ Map this domadm group to the &#8220;<span class="quote">Domain Admins</span>&#8221; group by running the command:
+ </p><p>
+ </p><pre class="screen">
+ <tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>net groupmap add ntgroup=&#8220;<span class="quote">Domain Admins</span>&#8221; UNIXgroup=domadm</tt></b>
+ </pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ <a class="indexterm" name="id2909766"></a>
+ The quotes around &#8220;<span class="quote">Domain Admins</span>&#8221; are necessary due to the space in the group name.
+ Also make sure to leave no white-space surrounding the equal character (=).
+ </p></li></ol></div><p>
+ Now <tt class="constant">joe, john</tt> and <tt class="constant">mary</tt> are domain administrators.
+ </p><p>
+ <a class="indexterm" name="id2909799"></a>
+ It is possible to map any arbitrary UNIX group to any Windows NT4/200x group as well as
+ making any UNIX group a Windows domain group. For example, if you wanted to include a
+ UNIX group (e.g., acct) in an ACL on a local file or printer on a Domain Member machine,
+ you would flag that group as a domain group by running the following on the Samba PDC:
+ </p><p>
+</p><pre class="screen">
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>net groupmap add rid=1000 ntgroup="Accounting" UNIXgroup=acct</tt></b>
+</pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ Be aware that the RID parameter is a unsigned 32-bit integer that should
+ normally start at 1000. However, this RID must not overlap with any RID assigned
+ to a user. Verification for this is done differently depending on the passdb backend
+ you are using. Future versions of the tools may perform the verification automatically,
+ but for now the burden is on you.
+ </p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2909853"></a>Default Users, Groups and Relative Identifiers</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>

+<a class="indexterm" name="id2909875"></a>
+ When first installed, Microsoft Windows NT4/200x/XP are preconfigured with certain User, Group, and
+ Alias entities. Each has a well-known Relative Identifier (RID). These must be preserved for continued
+ integrity of operation. Samba must be provisioned with certain essential Domain Groups that require
+ the appropriate RID value. When Samba-3 is configured to use <tt class="constant">tdbsam</tt> the essential
+ Domain Groups are automatically created. It is the LDAP administrators' responsibility to create
+ (provision) the default NT Groups.
+ </p><p>
+ Each essential Domain Group must be assigned its respective well-kown RID. The default Users, Groups,
+ Aliases, and RIDs are shown in <link linkend="WKURIDS">.
+ </p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3>
+ When the <i class="parameter"><tt>passdb backend</tt></i> uses LDAP (<tt class="constant">ldapsam</tt>) it is the

+ </div><p>
+ It is permissible to create any Domain Group that may be necessary, just make certain that the essential

+ Be sure to map each Domain Group to a UNIX system group. That is the only way to ensure that the group
