First, let me apologize if this is a simple question, I am trying to get away from Microsoft and learn Linux. In the past, on my Linux test server I have installed samba 2.2.3a and a seperate install of winbind for that same version. I followed the directions I've seen posted and it all works well. I tried to upgrade to 2.2.5 but winbind wouldnt work. So I went back down to 2.2.3a This was before Red Hat 8.0 came out. I gave up for the rest of that week since 8.0 came out the following week. Last week I had the spare time to wipe a spare machine and put 8.0 on, and enabled Samba 2.2.5 in the install. The shares work pefectly, but again winbind does not. I mimicked everything I did for the Samba 2.2.3 install I added the proper lines to nsswitch.conf passwd: files winbind group: files winbind My samba pam module has the following auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth required /lib/security/pam_pwbd.so shadow nullok account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so I joined the domain with the following smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U Adminaccount I added the proper lines to smb.conf [global] winbind separator = + winbind cache time = 10 template shell = /bin/bash template homedir = /home/%D/%U winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 workgroup = DOMAIN security = domain password server = * I've checked to see that it is running, and it is, but getent passwd does not give me my domain users None of the wbinfo queries work. Is there anything I'm missing? I've seen posts about doing a make install with the winbind option...but do I need to do that when I've selected samaba during the initial red hat install? The only difference between my Samba 2.2.3 install and the 2.2.5 install that installed automatically with red hat 8.0 was that there was a seperate rpm for winbind. Any advice is appreciated, I've worked on this for a while now and have gone through countless posts trying things and none of it works.
