Hi all,
I'm trying to get a samba server which is all by itself, No Windows DCs, or
even windows shares at all, to play nice with Linux clients.
The server is authenticating Win9x, NT and 2000 clients fine and dandy, and
now I have need to add linux clients to the scenario, and have dicovered an
issue I can't seem to work through.  Perhaps someone can help?
On the linux client, I can login as a user that exists only on the samba
server (TEST+testuser) , except I get the following message:
        id: cannot find name for group id 10000
When I do "wbinfo -t" I get back:
        Secret is good.
When I do "wbinfo -u" I get back:
        TEST+testuser
When I do "wbinfo -g" I get back:
        TEST+Domain Admins
        TEST+Domain Users
When I do "getent passwd" I get:
        root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
        bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin
                .
                .
           cut for brevity
                .
                .
        bub:x:500:500:Bub Slug:/home/bub:/bin/bash
        TEST+testuser:x:10000:10000::/home/testuser:/bin/bash
So far so good, until I do "getent group", which returns:
        root:x:0:root
        bin:x:1:bin
                .
                .
           cut for brevity again
                .
                .
        bub:x:500:bub
So my net groups "Domain Admins" and "Domain Users"
don't show up when I
getent group, and there is no other network group that winbind can map to
gid 10000 when TEST+testuser logs in to the Linux client, and I suspect this
is why I get the ID message on login (?)
Once again, I am not using any Windows 9x, NT, 2000 servers, the Linux Samba
server is the only PDC (and the only DC).
Can anyone offer some help aside from the stuff that's around on the net.
It all seems to deal with using Samba in a Domain with an actual windows DC,
not as a standalone server being a DC.
I wonder why my client linux box can't see the domain groups on login, and
while I'm on the subject, where do "Domain Admins" and
"Domain Users" come
from in the first place, and how do I add, delete or modify domain groups or
how do I make groups on the Linux Samba server display to linux clients?
Both server and Client use RedHat 7.3 (Stock Kernel)  Samba wasn't installed
with the redhat setup, instead I downloaded the tarball for 2.2.5
I compiled the server software in the source directory with:
        ./configure
        make
        make install
The server is set up as a PDC with an smb.conf file that looks like:
        [global]
        workgroup = TEST
        netbios name = LINUXSRV
        interfaces = 127.0.0.1 192.168.240.20
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 64
        preferred master = True
        domain master = True
        wins support = Yes
        [homes]
        path = /home/%U
        read only = No
        browseable = No
        [netlogon]
        path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon
        browseable = No
I've configured the linux client and added it to the domain by:
Setting it's host name to linuxclient,
Compiling the samba software from source (2.2.5) in the source directory
with:
        ./configure --with-winbind
        make
        make install
        make nsswitch
        Copied libnss_winbind.so to /lib
        Created a link:
                ln -s /lib/libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2
        copied pam_winbind.so to /lib/security
        Created an smb.conf file for winbind that looks like
                [global]
                workgroup = TEST
                winbind separator = +
                winbind uid = 10000-20000
                winbind gid = 10000-20000
                winbind enum users = yes
                winbind enum groups = yes
                template homedir = /home/%U
                template shell = /bin/bash
                winbind use default domain = yes
                wins server = 192.168.240.20
        Created a init script to fire up winbind
        edited /etc/nsswitch.conf to change the lines:
                passwd: files winbind
                shadow: files
                group:  files windbind
added these lines to /etc/pam.d/login:
        auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
        account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
        session required /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel 
umask=022
did a: /sbin/ldconfig -v | grep winbind which returned:
        libnss_winbind.so -> libnss_winbind.so
I started up the winbindd daemon on the client.
Then on the server, I did:
        useradd linuxclient$
        passwd -l linuxclient$
        smbpasswd -a -m linuxclient
        useradd testuser
        passwd -l testuser
        smbpasswd -a testuser
On the linux client I did:
        smbpasswd -j TEST -r 192.168.240.20
Which reported I joined the domain successfully.
Doing all this gets me the behaviour described above.
Any help will be appreciated!

It is actually: passwd: files winbind shadow: files group: files winbind Any other ideas? (I wish it was something this dumb, I've been working on this for a couple of weeks . . .)

Although I will propose that you don't need winbindd if you are using a Samba PDC. There are other means of achieving the same result. cheers, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc ISBN 0-672-32269-2 "SAMS Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed "I never saved anything for the swim back."

Hi Jerry, Thanks for the reply. What other methods could I use to have both Linux client machines and windows clients authenticate to a samba server?

Hi Jerry, We're trying to replace our Windo$e (NT 4 and 2000 domain controllers, but no AD) servers with Samba, and have both Win98, ME, 2000 and XP clients, in addition to some Linux RH7.3 and RH8 desks. Are we still waiting for Samba 3.x before we can have a single unified authentication mechanism for Windows and Un*x desktops?
