[Samba] Samba, Windows 2000 Native Domain, and Active Directo ry
Samba does not take any DC role but simply does lookups on the domain users/groups just as an NT4 server would - it achieves this using the winbindd program. Have a look at the winbindd man page which is on the Samba web site documentation for a clear guide. I would then work step by the step through the Samba Howto Collection which is also on the website. It does all work BTW. The only caveat is all those little sub-groupings which they encourage you to contstruct in ADS are unseen by Samba - only the Global Security Groups are accessible.

I've looked around for some information on this specific issue, but its far and few between. Most consist of NT 4 domains and PDC's. What I would ultimately like to do is add my Linux servers to Active directory, have AD share its users with Linux and therefore establish shares, printers, ect and have it published in AD. I believe Linux/samba will have to be a DC, but how is this done? Can it be done? I have little to no experience with the old NT 4 PDC model, so much of the existing docs are Greek to me. Could someone please offer some guidance/how-to's/books/ect? I'm excited about making this work. Thank you. Kevin -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
