samba - Dec 2002 - samba authenticate to 2K AD?

Has anyone on this list been able to configure samba in such a way so that
it will authenticate to windows 2K acitve directory.

What I want to do is this: install samba 2.2.7 onto a Redhat linux 7.3
system, then configure samba (I think using something called smb_pam) so
that it will join the windows active directory domain.

Is such a thing possible? Has anyone here done it? I can't find this
anywhere in the samba documentation. All it talks about is making samba
the PDC, which I don't want to do. I can't get rid of my AD,
arrrrghhh...

I know this can be done with ldap_pam, but I'd prefer to do it with samba.

If you could point me to some documentation, that would be excellent!

Thanks!

Alex

Look for winbindd and pam_winbind, nss_winbind libraries.

Simo.

Check this out:

http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#WINBIND

Should help you out dramatically.  I use winbind here, and it works
flawlessly, for the most part.

cool, thanks. but are you saying that winbind works - it really does
authenticate a linux box to a 2K server active directory?, youve seen it
work?, and if i install new service packs on the 2K server will that
destroy the authentication of winbind running on the linux box using
samba?

thanks!
