This parameter was used to give the listed users membership - in the <tt class="constant">Domain Admins</tt> Windows group which gave local admin rights on their workstations - (in default configurations). - </p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2916467"></a>Features and Benefits</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p> - Samba allows the administrator to create MS Windows NT4 / 200x group accounts and to - arbitrarily associate them with Unix/Linux group accounts. - </p><p> - Group accounts can be managed using the MS Windows NT4 or MS Windows 200x MMC tools - so long as appropriate interface scripts have been provided to <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt>. - </p><p> - Administrators should be aware that where <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> group interface scripts make - direct calls to the Unix/Linux system tools (eg: the shadow utilities, <b class="command">groupadd</b>, - <b class="command">groupdel</b>, <b class="command">groupmod</b>) then 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 - <i class="parameter"><tt>Engineering Managers</tt></i> will attempt to create an identically named - Unix/Linux group, an attempt that will of course fail! - </p><p> - 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 xmlns:ns27="" class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2916568"></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. - eg: Ability to change the date and time or to kill (or close) any process running on the - local machine. - </p><p> - The 'Administrator' user is a member of the 'Administrators' group, and thus inherits - 'Administrators' group privileges. If a 'joe' user is created to be a member of the - 'Administrator' group, 'joe' has exactly the same rights as 'Administrator'. - </p><p> - When an MS Windows NT4 / W200x is made a domain member, the "Domain Admins" group of the - PDC is added to the local 'Administrators' group of the workstation. Every member of the - 'Domain Administrators' group inherits the rights of the local 'Administrators' group when - logging on the workstation. - </p><p> - The following steps describe how to make Samba PDC users members of the 'Domain Admins' 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 domadm - </p></li><li xmlns:ns25=""><p>add to this group the users that must be Administrators. For example - if you want joe, john and mary, your entry in <tt class="filename">/etc/group</tt> will - look like: - </p><pre class="programlisting"> - domadm:x:502:joe,john,mary - </pre><ns25:p> - </ns25:p></li><li xmlns:ns26=""><p> - Map this domadm group to the "Domain Admins" group by running the command: - </p><ns26:p> - </ns26:p><pre class="screen"> - <tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadm</tt></b> - </pre><ns26:p> - </ns26:p><p> - The quotes around "Domain Admins" are necessary due to the space in the group name. - Also make sure to leave no whitespace surrounding the equal character (=). - </p></li></ol></div><p> - Now joe, john and mary are domain administrators! - </p><p> - 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 a 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><ns27:p> - </ns27: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><ns27:p> - </ns27: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. Verifying this is done differently depending on 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="id2916756"></a>Example Configuration</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p> - You can list the various groups in the mapping database by executing - <b class="command">net groupmap list</b>.
