[Samba] W2K Domain Users in Samba

Looking for a poniter in the right direction

My current configuration is 
NT4 PDC (Solaris PCnetlink) 
Samba Member server (Solaris 9 Samba ver 3.0.20b)for file and print 
sharing
WinXp Pro Clients SP2

My problem is with the Domain Users. I am able to share out file systems 
to the XP clients from my Samba server OK. I am also able to modify the 
permissions for the files in the share in Solaris using the chmod, chgrp 
and chown. This seems to work OK. When I am on the WinXp client and I look 
at the security permissions tab on the folder properties that I own, I 
cannot see the NT4 Domain Users, all I see are the \\localmachine\user 
when what I want is the  \\domain\user. When I try to add a domain user in 
the secrutiy properties page I see the domain and the list of users but 
when I select a user or group and select add it does not add it to the 
folder properties. I am new to Samba -- am I missing some simple 
configuration parameter or is this how it is suppose to work.

[Samba] W2K Domain Users in Samba

You will want to bring yourself up to speed on winbind I think. This is what
I use to allow Domain membership accounts to be added to my Samba shares. Is
your NT4 PDC a true Microsoft PDC machine? If so then winbind should work
fine, but I noticed you had Solaris beside your NT4 PDC listing so if that
is the case then I am not sure what you will need to do.

If it is a Windows NT4 PDC though, winbind will solve all your problems.

Cheers,

Travis

My first question to you is how have you setup the users on this Solaris 
file server? For file sharing to work properly,I'd imagine you either are 
running Winbind for the user database on the server, OR you are using 
username mapping, with local users on the file server as well. If you are 
not, well, that is your problem right there. Samba needs to know which 
UNIX user owns the files, and has the various permissions: Knowing which 
user in the Windows domain would not do Samba any good, as it doesn't 
maintain a permissions database for files separate of the UNIX file 
permissions scheme (someone please correct me if I am wrong here).

This is quite unlike Sun's PC Netlink, which, IIRC, is a product developed 
under a source code license from Microsoft, allowing for full Windows NT 
4.0 PDC functionality from a Solaris server (versions were produced for 
other versions of UNIX as well). However, it maintains its own database 
for file permissions, and it does not require local UNIX users for every 
Windows user in the domain.

As such, my recommendation would be to run Winbind on the file server, 
which will allow you to authenticate local UNIX users via the PC Netlink 
PDC, and allow you to do file permissions and other such things on the 
UNIX level quite easily. I cannot say for sure that this is where your 
problem lies, but I'd put some money on it (if I were not a poor college 
student, that is :-)).
