+ 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><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Warning</h3><p>
+ The first immediate reason to use the group mapping on a Samba PDC, is that
+ <a class="indexterm" name="id2903150"></a>
+ the <i class="parameter"><tt>domain admin group</tt></i> has been removed and should no longer
+ be specified in <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt>. 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="id2903181"></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><a class="indexterm" name="id2903197"></a><a class="indexterm" name="id2903205"></a><p>
+ 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 winbind is running, Samba accounts group accounts that are created using these tools will be
+ allocated UNIX UIDs/GIDs from the parameters set by the <a class="indexterm" name="id2903232"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>idmap uid</tt></i>/<a class="indexterm" name="id2903245"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>idmap gid</tt></i> settings
+ in the <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> file.
+ </p><div class="figure"><a name="idmap-group-diag"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 12.1. IDMAP groups</b></p><div class="mediaobject"><img src="projdoc/imagefiles/idmap-groups.png" width="270" alt="IDMAP groups"></div></div><a class="indexterm" name="id2903314"></a><a class="indexterm" name="id2903322"></a><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
+ <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><a class="indexterm" name="id2903374"></a><a class="indexterm" name="id2903382"></a><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 class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2903416"></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><a class="indexterm" name="id2903445"></a><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 &quot;Domain Admins&quot; 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><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><p>
+ </p></li><li><p>
+ Map this domadm group to the &quot;Domain Admins&quot; group by running the command:
+ </p><p>
+</p><pre class="screen">
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>net groupmap add ntgroup=&quot;Domain Admins&quot; unixgroup=domadm</tt></b>
+</pre><p>
+ </p><a class="indexterm" name="id2903569"></a><p>
+ The quotes around &quot;Domain Admins&quot; 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><a class="indexterm" name="id2903594"></a><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><p>
+</p><pre class="screen">
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>net groupmap add rid=1000 ntgroup=&quot;Accounting&quot; 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. Verifying 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="id2903652"></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>. Here is an example:
+ </p><p>
+</p><pre class="screen">
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt> <b class="userinput"><tt>net groupmap list</tt></b>
+System Administrators (S-1-5-21-2547222302-1596225915-2414751004-1002) -&gt; sysadmin

+At this time there are many little surprises for the unwary administrator. In a real sense
+it is imperative that every step of automated control scripts must be carefully tested
+manually before putting them into active service.
+</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2903915"></a>Adding Groups Fails</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
+ This is a common problem when the <b class="command">groupadd</b> is called directly
+ by the Samba interface script for the <a class="indexterm" name="id2903935"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>add group script</tt></i> in
+ the <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> file.
+ </p><p>
+ The most common cause of failure is an attempt to add an MS Windows group account

+ </p><p>
+ There are three possible work-arounds. Firstly, use only group names that comply
+ with the limitations of the UNIX/Linux <b class="command">groupadd</b> system tool.
+ The second involves use of the script mentioned earlier in this chapter, and the
