Introduction

Some, though not all, of the tips here are for setting up users and groups.

The tool of choice is smbldap.

Usage

Users

  • To create a new user(s)

Root has a script in bin/creasu.sh, so as root:

sh bin/creasu.sh <user> <user1> <user2>

will create groups, accounts, home folder and all relevant files into the new home folder. Then you need to setup passwords with:

smbldap-passwd <user>

for each of the users.

Groups

  • To create a new group
smbldap-groupadd -a <newgrpname>
  • To add users to a certain group (note that this seems to take some time to propagate, as well as only working on fresh logins)
smbldap-groupmod -m <list,of,users> <targetgroup>
