I'm hoping someone out there has run across this problem. I have 20 Sun Ultra30 SPARC machines that I need to get running in a university lab. There is an existing W2K/ADS server for authenticating users. I have installed Samba on one of the Solaris stations to test. I have been able to join the domain and I can see the users and groups on the W2K domain using wbinfo. The problem, and the goal, is that it does not seem to be syncing the usernames and passwords to the samba server. The idea is to have one login for users that already exist on the W2K DC and I thought samba and winbindd would do just that. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I have the following configured in: /etc/nsswitch.conf : password files winbind groups files winbind /etc/pam.conf : other auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_smb_auth.so /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf # Global parameters [global] workgroup = VTLABS-CADLAB netbios name = STATION02 server string = cadserver interfaces = hme0 security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = cadserver unix password sync = Yes log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m max log size = 50 local master = No dns proxy = No wins server = 198.82.162.243 winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind separator = / Thanks for any help.
