Use mkpasswd and mkgroup to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
In the current snapshots, the following rules are important:
- Dont use user and/or group names that are different from the
NT account names.
Ever: administrators::544:
Never: admins::544:
- Typically, group 513 is your primary group. This is `None' outside
and `Domain Users' inside of NT domains.
The primary group membership isn't important for `ntsec', so you
may change your group entry in /etc/passwd to, e.g., administrators
group:
kai::1000:544:Kai Henningsen:/home/kai:/bin/sh
- Use `umask' command in your profile, e.g.: `umask 022'.
Try a `touch foo' and `ls -l foo'. Without `ntsec' you'll get:
-rw-r--r-- 1 administ none 0 Oct 5 20:00 foo
With `ntsec':
-rw-r--r-- 1 kai administ 0 Oct 5 20:00 foo

When you try `ntsec' you will see that this problem is gone.
Maybe, you get other ones... but I'm working hard in making
`ntsec' better.
And last but not least:
- Constructive feedback always welcome.
- Patches are gratefully accepted.

No, NT `feature' ;-}
If a user is member of the administrators group, the administrators
group will be the owner of _every_ object that is created by him/her
(including files, processes, semaphores,...)
_if_ _not_ _explicitly_ _changed_! This job is done by `ntsec'.
