it is imperative that every step of automated control scripts must be carefully tested
manually before putting them into active service.

<title>Adding Groups Fails</title>
<para>
This is a common problem when the <command>groupadd</command> is called directly
by the samba interface script for the <parameter>add group script</parameter> in
the &smb.conf; file.

<para>

that has either an upper case character and/or a space character in it.

<para>
There are three possible work-arounds. Firstly, use only group names that comply
with the limitations of the Unix/Linux <command>groupadd</command> system tool.
The second involves use of the script mentioned earlier in this chapter, and the
third option is to manually create a Unix/Linux group account that can substitute
for the MS Windows group name, then use the procedure listed above to map that group
to the MS Windows group.
