How can a Samba administrator map a Windows group to a Unix group for share access?

By setting the 'security = domain' parameter to automatically map groups.

By using the 'group map' parameter in smb.conf.

By editing the /etc/group file to add Windows group names.

By using the 'net groupmap' command to add a mapping between the Windows group and the Unix group.

A Samba server currently uses security = user with a tdbsam password backend. The administrator needs to integrate with an existing NT4-style domain so that domain users can authenticate, but local users must still be able to log in. The domain controller is at 192.168.1.10. Which configuration change is required?

Change security to 'domain' and set password server = 192.168.1.10, keeping passdb backend = tdbsam.

Change security to 'server' and set password server = 192.168.1.10.

Keep security = user and add 'password server = 192.168.1.10'.

Change security to 'ads' and set realm = CORP, keeping passdb backend = tdbsam.
