Add AD user to local group – non Server

[Steven Hunter]

We have a mac Mini running Tiger that’s being used as a tiny file server.

Currently the users have a single local username and password that they use to access the shared folder(s). I want to have them use their Active Directory accounts to authenticate instead. I can bind the machine to AD no problem, and they can authenticate just fine that way; however so can everyone else in AD. I need some way to add the AD users to a local group so we can have some sort of access control on the share(s).

I can do this in OSX *server* by just using the Workgroup Manager, but the mini is running plain OSX. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!
