Package: samba
Version: 3.0.28-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

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.

	- these mappings were automatically added into Samba
	(net groupmap add ntgroup="Domains Admins" unixgroup="ntadmins"
rid=512 type=d, etc.)

Thanks,
Anand
