Quoting Anand Kumria (wildf...@progsoc.org): Sorry for coming back on that bug so late. It didn't receive much attention when reported, I'm afraid. > Currently the default Samba install assumes you wish to either be a PDC > or a standalone server (things could be setup so it asks you if Samba > shluld be a BDC or Domain member, but there are not). > > In either case the following Windows groups need to exist: > > - Domain Admins > - Domain Users > - Domain Guests > > Each of these groups has a well-known Unix group equivalent, (ntadmins, > users and nogroup) respectively. > > It would be good if: > > - these Unix groups (ntadmins, users and nogroup) were added if > they went not present. Well, that's contradictory. In one sentence, you mention these groups to be "well-known groups"....but, later, you suggest adding them if they don't exist. It is my understanding that "well-known groups" are groups that have a significant-enough prevalence to be added in base-passwd.... If these ones aren't, they're not well-known enough > > - these mappings were automatically added into Samba > (net groupmap add ntgroup="Domains Admins" unixgroup="ntadmins" > rid=512 type=d, etc.) More generally speaking, I think that such tweaking belongs to the local administrator and providing this for all users of the samba package would certainly have weird side effects. Therefore, I don't think we should implement this. Other maintainers, please untag this bug if you disagree.
