Hi. I'm trying to use AD authentication under AIX 5.3. I've compiled samba 3.0.22 with options: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba --with-winbind --with-ads --with-krb5=/usr/heimdal --with-ldap --with-acl-support --with-aio-support=yes Then I copied the WINBIND file in /usr/lib/security/ directory, I edited methods.cfg file adding the stanza: WINBIND: program = /usr/lib/security/WINBIND options = debug and I added the WINBIND SYSTEM in /etc/security/user file: default: ... SYSTEM = "compat or WINBIND" ... and then I joined to the domain. Now I can use AD authentication for samba shares and I can see AD users with wbinfo -u, with id or with lsuser commands (same for AD groups), but if I can't use AD authentication for unix login. Trying su - bucciarelli_f I obtain this message: 3004-503 Cannot set process credentials and this message in the syslog: Apr 24 10:40:20 aix03srv auth|security:crit su: BAD SU from root to _0010000 at /dev/pts/0 Trying ssh -l bucciarelli_f localhost I obtain these messages in the syslog: Apr 24 10:40:38 aix03srv auth|security:info sshd[475526]: Login restricted for bucciarelli_f: You entered an invalid login name or password.

Thanks in advance. Fabio Bucciarelli
