CentOS - Feb 2010 - CentOS 5.4 x86_64 authenticating against AD (Server 2008r2)

Hey All,

Just wondering if any of you have been able to setup CentOS 5.4 to authenticate
against AD on a Server 2008r2 Domain Controller. I am trying to complete this
particular setup however I have run into some difficulties such as not being
able to lookup domain users via getent passwd.

Thanks for your input,

Dan

I am indeed using winbind. While I am not new to CentOS I am a greenhorn when it
comes to Winbind. What log is considered the main Winbind log? (perhaps
/var/log/samba/winbind.log?) Also. I have posted my smb.conf on pastebin:

Thanks again for your help,

Dan

W2k8r2 introduced some changes over w2k3 that make the need for a newer Samba a
must
iirc when I did this. Otherwise you can lower the security requirements on the
w2k8r2
server.

FWIW, I don't like Samba and would suggest using ldap:)
