Sharing to NT Group on Linux with Samba 3 and winbind

Hello,

We're setting up a file server with Slackware 10.0 and using Samba 3
and winbind to authenticate with our Windows NT domain (NT 4
PDC/BDC's).

All seems to be working great, and I can setup shares per user just
fine.. but how do I setup a share and only allow a certain NT group to
have access? I've used 'valid users' but it seems like 'valid groups'
or 'valid group' are unknown when running testparm. I've also tried
plugging my group name 'domain+group' into the valid users but didn't
work.

Is there anyway to validate users by NT group doing it this way?
'getent group' does show my NT groups just fine and I can authenticate
based on NT users... so winbind and samba are configured properly from
what I can tell.

Thanks for any advice or ideas on what I'm missing.

Hi Ringo,

can you post your smb.conf?
