Hello @ll,
I have recently installed a RHEL 4 system with the default samba
packages :
samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E
samba-swat-3.0.10-1.4E
samba-3.0.10-1.4E
samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E
Now I have successfully linked this server to our Windows domain. This
means that all the windows IDs are known and these users can also login
to the server without problems.
Now the current systems setup is in away that only people with existing
GNU&Linux accounts can have access to there home folders.
This setup is configured and working on several other server RHEL3 and
HP-UX11.11 servers.
But on the RHEL4 the link to the existing Unix account seems to be
broken?
Also the GNU&Linux accounts have been setup by a NIS, in case this would
be important.
contents of the smb.conf, basic setup actually :
[global]
workgroup =
realm =
server string = CLearCase server
security = DOMAIN
auth methods = winbind
obey pam restrictions = Yes
password server =
username map = /etc/opt/samba/smbusers
log level = 3
log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
ldap ssl = no
idmap uid = 10000-20000
idmap gid = 10000-20000
template shell = /bin/bash
winbind separator = /
winbind cache time = 10
winbind use default domain = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = %H
read only = No
[sharing]
comment = File sharing area
path = /home/sharing
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
and the layout of the smbusers file is:
LinuxAccount = DOMAIN\Windows.Account
etc...
also tried layout like this
LinuxAccount = Windows.Account
etc..
but no effect.
Does anybody have any more ideas of what could be setup wrongly? Or is
this related to a bug in samba?
Really need some update on this issue...
Thanks in advance for any advice...
