Yes and yes. AFAICT. Certainly enough so that it works with ntsec. I don't know if it's related, but I notice some differences with "id", depending on whether ntsec is on or off, when I login, via the NT console, to my domain user account. Here are excerpts from my /etc/passwd and /etc/group files: /etc/group ~~~~~~~~~~ Everyone:S-1-1-0:0: None:S-1-5-21-2063797194-1668831906-355810188-513:513: Users:S-1-5-32-545:545: Domain Users:S-1-5-21-1516261886-1165125591-538272213-513:10513: /etc/passwd ~~~~~~~~~~~ starksb::11024:10513:David Starks-Browning,U-EBI\starksb,S-1-5-21-1516261886-1165125591-538272213-1024:/d/starksb:/bin/bash BRYCE\starksb::1004:513:David Starks-Browning (Local Administrator),S-1-5-21-2063797194-1668831906-355810188-1004:/d/starksb:/bin/bash (The entries were created very long ago, but I added 10K manually to the domain uid & gid to match the latest output of mkpasswd.) When I login as EBI\starksb via the NT console, "id" reports differently depending on the value of ntsec: ntsec on ~~~~~~~~ uid=11024(starksb) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=0(Everyone),545(Users),10513(Domain Users) ntsec off ~~~~~~~~~ uid=11024(starksb) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=10513(Domain Users) When ntsec is off, "id" does not report membership in the local groups Users and Everyone. Again, I have no idea whether this is relevant, but I thought I would report it. Hope this is useful.
