samba - May 2006 - New Samba installation

Hi,

I'm using Samba 3.0.10-1.4E.6 that came with CentOS 4.3 (fresh install)
and Active Directory is running on windows 2003 SP1.

I've been following instructions of the chapter 6 of the HOWTO and would
like to validate the work I did.

First I modified smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2006/05/24 23:51:58

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = MONTREAL
        realm = CASTORTECH.COM
        interfaces = eth0
        security = ADS
        wins server = 192.168.64.20
        password server = castor-srvr1
        encrypt passwords = yes

[Main]
        comment = Test
        path = /
        read only = No

I didn't modify the krb5.conf file since what was inside was OK. Then I
ran kinit Administrator@CASTORTECH.COM and entered the password. No
error message, it just returned to the prompt. I assume that it worked.
The first time I did get a clock skew error, but I corrected it.

Then I ran net ads join -U Administrator%password. It told me:

Using short domain name -- MONTREAL
Joined 'VLB2' to realm 'CASTORTECH.COM'

So far so good. I can see it in ADUC\Computers.

I think that I'm pretty close but I'm not sure what to do next. I want
that share to be available to anyone on their Windows machine using
their Windows login.

If I try to access \\vlb2, it asks for a username and then gives me an
access denied message is I use MONTREAL\user.

Thanks for the help,
Simon

Hi,

Samba was restarted (actually, the server was restarted a few times
since...) but Winbind wasn't running.

Now it is.

[root@vlb2 ~]# wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls succeeded

And wbinfo -u returned a list of the domain users and the name of the
computers in the domain.

Still can't access \\vlb2.

Thanks!
Simon

You didn't specify restarting Samba and Winbind after joining the
domain.

What does the output of `wbinfo -t` and `wbinfo -u` look like?
