I am currently using AS/9000. It works quite well for our needs. I am exploring CIFS because it looks like it will replace AS/9000. I would like to set up CIFS as a primary domain controller in it's own domain with no other servers of any kind, but add more unix servers running CIFS later. We have a one-way trust set up from the NT domain to the Unix domain. We have many users mapped to a single unix user id - a production user id. I have read in the FAQ for CIFS that I would need to set up CIFS as a stand alone server. How? How to set up the one-way trust? How to map many NT user id's to a single unix user id - like the mapuname command in AS/9000?

Martha,

I have done this by placing the following entries in the following files:

FILE: /etc/opt/samba/smb.mapf
[global]
username = /etc/opt/samba/smb.map
[NT-USER1]
path=/home/dir
valid users = UNIX-user
[NT-USER2] etc, etc .....

FILE: /etc/opt/samba/smp.map
UNIX-user = NT-USER1 NT-USER2 NT-USER3

When you install CIFS/9000 the smb.conf man page will be installed and its all in there, its 146 pages!!!!

Martha,

Sorry, that first file should be:
FILE: /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf

Thank you, Pete. I have been working from the on-line manual at docs.hp.com. That one is only 116 pages long and doesn't begin to address this issue.

I would like to assign you 10 points, but I don't see a button for that any more. I'll look again and if I just missed it. But I wanted to make sure you were told that you should have the points.

Found the assign points button. Had to leave the page and go back into this area to see it.
