Hi list, I know this is maybe an awkward question but I wonder if tis possible to join linux clients to a samba domain and if so how would I set up their smb.conf? I want to accomplish the same thing in a Samba PDC domain as in an Windows ADS domain. Today I have in one environment Windows 2003 PDC Windows XP clients Linux File Server which is joined to the domain, utilizing winbind, kerberos etc. So all clients can connect to the shares in my Linux File Server and all authentication is handled my winbind -> Windows PDC Singel-Sign- On style. Now I want the same thing in a different environment CentOS Samba PDC in domain mode and LDAP Windows XP and Vista clients joined to the Samba domain Linux File Server (which I don't know how to configure) So I want all the Windows clients to be able to access the shares on my LInux File Server but I want my CentOS Samba PDC to handle the authentication with Singel-Sign-On style. How would I configure my Linux Files server? security = domain, server, or? Thanks, Henrik

I'm pretty sure you want to set the Linux file server up as a domain member server: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html You're right on with security=domain. Then you just have to add the LDAP admin stuff to the samba config and secrets database (i.e. smbpasswd -w [LDAP admin passwd goes here], net rpc getsid [domain name here], net rpc join -Uroot%[password goes here]) and a few other config steps outlined in the link I put above... Hopefully that gets you started int he right direction. -Matt
