configuring second groups in useradmin module?

[<gr...@gm...>]

Hi!

I am having some problems with the webmin user administration. We have a
private user group concept (groupname=username as primary group), as we had to
set permissions of homes group-readable because of netatalk. So, additional
group functionality has to be done by setting secondary groups. E.g., a user
"lars" should be member of group "lars" (primary)as well as of "users" and
"student" (while he would be in "lars" as primary and "users" and "admin" if he
was an administrator).

I didn't find a way to make webmin create new groups when creating new users
AND using default secondary groups. Is this possible without external
scripts?

One problem is that I see 400 groups in the group selection (which I could
use instead of predefining secondary groups), as all private groups are shown
here....

One smaller question, webmin 0.97 doesn't set initial samba passwords with
samba 3.0 pre here. Should this work?

Thank You, CU, Lars.

This is my first mail tho this list. I am the linux/unix-admin at our
students' computer lab at the university of technology, Darmstadt, dept. of
architecture. We have build up an university computer lab with about 100 clients,
for cad, graphics, large format printing, prepress etc... everything one might
need in an architectural environment ;-) The special thing that all this is
done and maintained by students - as I said, no "experts". We have abot 400
users here, using webmin since 2000.
