Hi all, I've had a long ride setting up SAMBA and Winbind, essentially what I'm trying to do at the moment is transfer the file server from the Win2k server to a Linux machine to east the strain and spread the network traffic out over different switches. I am using SAMBA 2.2.5 and Debian 3.0. I have SAMBA working fine, I can browse the Public and Temp shares and write to them from a Win2k machine. I have Winbind working as far as I can tell, wbinfo -t gives an ok, wbinfo -u returns users and same for -g. (Thanks to your help yesterday) I have done getent passwd and getent group and all the users show up ok. When I try and logout and log back into Xwindows with a Domain rather than local user (they are all listed correctly in kdm DOMAIN+User), the login always fails even when I know the password is correct. I can browse my home directory, but only if I have a local user on the linux machine that matches my network logon if I try from another logon without the equivalent linux entry it doesn't work. The domain authentication doesn't seem to working. (security = domain is set). How do I create and get home directories working and how do I set up shares with group properties, e.g. only Managers are allowed access etc. When I get getent it doesn't create the home directories. (libnss_winbind.so I chmod'ed +777). Config files and more available on request.
