[Samba] Standalone server providing authenticated services to AD clients?
I'm trying to set up Samba on an older Solaris 9 box using the bundled Samba. I don't want to have to build Samba from scratch. All I need to be able to do is provide authenticate file share access to clients that are in our AD domain. E.g., my laptop is an AD domain client, I am logged in as myself, AD-DOM\myusername. Samba is running on the server with user level security. myusername exists in /etc/passwd and has been added smbpasswd. The same password is being used in AD, /etc/passwd and /etc/sfw/private/smbpasswd. But when I try to connect to \\MYSUNSERVER\myusername, "it" is trying to connect me as "MYSUNSERVER\Guest" rather than "myusername". I'm sure this is just my lack of understanding, but if someone could set me straight, that would be appreciated. [global] workgroup = AD-DOM security = user [homes] comment = User Home Directories valid users = %s read only = no browseable = no -- Georgia: Why am I not doing what they're doing?
