Title: Samba 2.2.1a Domain user stuff
Post by: David Dunn on July 26, 2001, 07:04:47 AM

I have samba 2.2.1a running as a PDC for Win2k W/S and was hoping someone had worked out how to set user rights to anything other than standard users?  I want to be able to log into the domain and have administrator rights for the domain and therefore the workstation I'm loged in from.  Anyone?

Thanks

David

Hi David,
From what I've learnt you need to create a group on e-smith for your admin account. You can call the group anything you want so long as it makes sense to you. Make the users that you want to be admin a member of this group and any other groups that you have created.
Then in your "smb.conf", you will need to add a line somewhere that looks like this,

domain admin group = @xxxxxxxxx

xxxx = group that you have created
You must use the " @ " or else it will not work. It gives a basic admin account. I have not tried it to its fullest extent.

Hope this helps,
Karl

Thanks Karl,

that makes sense... I had tried something similar but didn't use the groups option.  

Regards
