Hi. I am trying to set up samba on an NT domain so that the linux box samba is
running from will host home directories for NT users. We wanted this to be
transparent: i.e. we wont have to make accounts for each user manually. It
appeared that samba has an option to make this work .. "add user
script" which automatically makes unix accounts for the users if the NT
domain verifies them.
So I set this up. I have been testing with some NT users ; and they are getting
authenticated properly by the NT password server (when i enter the wrong
password, the error shows up in the log, when i enter the right password ,
nothing shows up in the log). These users do not already have unix accounts on
the samba machine.
However, the "add user script" did not seem to ever get run. I made a
wrapper script that just appends a debug line to a log file, and this confirmed
that the add user script never gets run. I've exhausted all the options
that seemed relevant to this problem in man smb.conf, so if anyone has any ideas
what I'm doing wrong, I'd love to hear them =) ... Its probably
something really stupid.
Will send smb.conf on request...
