Only because it didn't work was that I tried the -D option which I found in the documentation. Any suggestions why the list returned by > > mkgroup -U username -S- -L my_samba_box > > is empty? Erm, serves me right to use copy/paste. What I meant to write is mkgroup -U groupname -S- -L my_samba_box You have to specify the groupname(s) as args to the -U option when using the mkgroup command. Using the username doesn't help.
