I installed samba-tng-cvs because I wanted to experiment with winbindd. I had it working half way (not totally, could not figure out why yet), then the latest windows worm struck and my windows admins fixed something and winbind worked nomore. now I get the message Domain password server not available. before I was able to get some kind of authentification fromthe server. That was clearly beyond that point. Unfortunatly I can not convince my admins that there is an error on the server side, because Microsoft clients can still authenticate their users. Could someone plese look at this winbindd -d 99 -i > ... output and tell me what the problem is? did they move the server and did not change the ip in some list? Is there a technical difference between the samba-tng winbind and the samba winbind? which one is the one working more reliable?

SAMBA_TNG on samba.org is outdated and no longer being development by Samba team members. See http://www.samba-tng.org for more information on the Samba TNG project. cheers, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- www.samba.org SAMBA Team jerry_at_samba.org www.plainjoe.org jerry_at_plainjoe.org --"I never saved anything for the swim back."

Hi Jerry: I got the 2_2 source and compiled on RH 7.0. Can't seem to get winbind to work. I followed the sample in the winbindd man page, but couldn't find the samedit program referenced in that document to add my samba box to the domain. So I went ahead and used smbpasswd to sucessfully add myself to the domain. I changed my smb.conf to use DOMAIN, but when I try to browse from my win client i am prompted for a username/password, its not accepting anything i put in Also I did not see my users increase as suggested in the man page to include the domain users. Any ideas?

Followed the instructions and every thing looks like its going thru ok. But when i use the getent passwd, I'm only seeing users on my samba box, no domain users. what parameters should i use to compile samba and how should I go about that Regards Winston Nimchan -----Original Message----- From: Anthony J.

I think this is because the winbindd in 2.2 is a backport of the real work in HEAD. Read: http://thor.cantech.net.au/~tony/samba/winbindd.8.html You should see some minor differences. Essentially it boils down to: smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U Not the samedit stuff.
