I am getting this error in reference to winbindd: Failed to parse NTLMSSP packet, could not extract NTLMSSP command Here is my current smb.conf [global] # # Network configuration # server string = doc-odin.domain.com workgroup = DOMAIN netbios name = DOC-ODIN realm = DOMAIN security = ADS password server = server.domain.com server2.domain.com # # Domain configuation options # prefered master = no local master = no domain master = no prefered master = no domain logons = no # # Security options # encrypt passwords = yes update encrypted = yes password level = 20 # # Winbind options # # winbind use default domain = no winbind cache time = 5 winbind separator = / winbind enum users = no winbind enum groups = no winbind nested groups = yes # # User/Group mapping options # idmap uid = 500-500000 idmap gid = 500-500000 add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/lib/nobody -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ # # LDAP/AD configuration options # passdb backend = ldapsam:LDAP://server2.domain.com ldap admin dn = "cn=readonly,cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com ldap user suffix = cn=users ldap group suffix = ou=groups ldap suffix = dc=domain,dc=com ldap delete dn = no use spnego = yes # # Networking options # hide unreadable = no wins support = no dns proxy = no interfaces = eth* lo bind interfaces only = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 # # Miscellaneous options # os level = 20 template shell = /bin/false template homedir = /odin/%D/%U load printers = no # # Logging options # log level = 1 ads:5 auth:5 sam:5 rpc:5 Any help is appreciated. i was able to successfully join the domain using security = ads, if I run wbinfo -u I can see the users, if I run getent passwd I do not see the users and I am hoping that resolving that error with winbind will solve this. -- Jason Gerfen "My girlfriend threated to leave me if I went boarding...
