Hello, I am running a RHEL5 server as a member in a NT4 domain. I am not using an AD. my nsswitch.conf and /etc/pam.d/{login,authconfig,samba} are configured accordingly. (auth-config in RHEL4 is now renamed to authconfig on RHEL5). My problem is that wbinfo -u & wbinfo -g work fine, but getent passwd only returns local linux users; Also smbclient -L localhost -Uusers will only work anonymously... What could I be missing? Here are some of my configuration files.
