I get error: [root at beefylinux ~]# net groupmap add rid=512 ntgroup='Domain Admins' unixgroup='Domain Admins' Can't lookup UNIX group Domain Admins [root at beefylinux ~]# ************************************************ if I run getent group: ************************************************* [root at beefylinux ~]# getent group root::0:root bin::1:root,bin,daemon daemon::2:root,bin,daemon sys::3:root,bin,adm adm::4:root,adm,daemon tty::5: disk::6:root lp::7:daemon,lp mem::8: kmem::9: wheel::10:root mail::12:mail news::13:news uucp::14:uucp man::15: games::20: gopher::30: dip::40: ftp::50: lock::54: nobody::99: users:!!:100:micro dbus:x:81: floppy:x:19: vcsa:x:69: nscd:x:28: rpm:x:37: haldaemon:x:68: utmp:x:22: netdump:x:34: slocate:x:21: sshd:x:74: rpc:x:32: rpcuser:x:29: nfsnobody:x:65534: mailnull:x:47: smmsp:x:51: pcap:x:77: apache:x:48: squid:x:23: webalizer:x:67: xfs:x:43: ntp:x:38: gdm:x:42: mysql:x:27: micro:!:500: ldap:!:55: dcldap::501: Domain Admins:x:2512: Domain Users:x:2513: Domain Guests:x:2514: Domain Computers:x:2515: [root at beefylinux ~]# ****************************************************************** Which is what I have read it is supposed to say...
