samba and windows pdc authorization

Hi,

i have read the samba docs, but not found, what i am serch for. Maybe here is someone you has an idea.
I have a samba server with
security = server
password server = localpdc
allow trusted domains = yes
....

Now i want to create serveral groups on the pdc and want to use these groups to authenticate different shares on my server. What have i to configure in my smb.conf to make this possible?

Heiner
if this makes any sense to you, you have a BIG problem

Re: samba and windows pdc authorization

Two possibilities for this problem:

1) set up seperate unix groups with these users and use the smb.conf parameter

valid users = @

2) set up winbind to have unified logons between UNIX and NT
see:
