Hello all. I would like to be able to grant my windows users access to the Samba Server, physically logging into the box, ftp, ssh, telnet, etc. Additionally, when they are browsing the network I would like the Samba Server to create them a home directory on the fly when they browse to the Samba Server. Here are all the relevant configuration files. I am running redhat 8.0 and win2k pdc. *********SMB.CONF*********** # Global parameters [global] workgroup = DOMAIN.COM netbios name = SAMBASERVER realm = PDC.DOMAIN.COM ADS server = pdc ip address server string = %L running Samba Server %v security = ADS password server = pdc name passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No dns proxy = No ldap ssl = no winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 template shell = /bin/bash winbind use default domain = No template homedir = /home/%U winbind separator = + [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %D+%S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = No ********/etc/nsswitch********* contains these lines passwd: files winbind nisplus shadow: files winbind nisplus group: files winbind nisplus *****krb5.conf******* [logging] default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log [libdefaults] ticket_lifetime = 24000 default_realm = DOMAIN.COM dns_lookup_realm = false dns_lookup_kdc = false [realms] DOMAIN.COM = { kdc = ipaddress default_domain = domain.com } [domain_realm] .domain.com = DOMAIN.COM domain.com = DOMAIN.COM [kdc] profile = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf [appdefaults] pam = { debug = false ticket_lifetime = 36000 renew_lifetime = 36000 forwardable = true krb4_convert = false } ******/etc/pam.d/samba #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth ****WINBINDD LOG FILE***** [2003/01/06 11:05:57, 1] nsswitch/winbindd.c:main(817) winbindd version 3.0alpha21 started.
