samba - Nov 2002 - libnss on solaris

hi,

i am trying to make solaris resolve windows names via nsswitch.conf
using broadcasts and/or wins server.

i have compiled samba and nsswitch/libnss_wins.so.
i added wins to hosts section in nsswitch.conf and
copied libnss_wins.so as /lib/nss_wins.so.1

and it does not work. am i missing something?

please help,
terry

Did you configure your smb.conf file?

Did you add to the [globals] section:
	name resolve order = wins bcast host
??

Please tell us what did happen? We are not clairvoyant!

Also, I think you may want in /lib

libnss_wins.so -> libnss_wins.so.1
libnss_wins.so -> libnss_wins.so.2

So rename the libnss_wins.so.1 to libnss_wins.so and set symlinks to the
names given.

Also, you must run ldconfig (or whatever the equivalent command is on your
system) so that the dynamic linker registers the library.

You've already built the libnss_winbind.so files ... Please check the
following

0. This may not have been necessary,  but in our /etc/hosts table,  we made
an alias for the domain controller that is the name of our domain
	10.0.10.11 dc.something.edu ntdomainname
	

1.In /etc/nsswitch.conf: 
	passwd: files nis winbind
	group:  files nis winbind

2. Configure smb.conf file for security = domain and set up the winbind
parameters
	(see samples in many of the docs files)

	~samba/bin/testparm

3. Join the domain
	a. add the system to the domain on the domain controller
	b. ~samba/bin/smbpasswd -j yourdomainname -r yourdomaincontroller

4. start your smbd and nmbd daemons
5. start your winbind daemons AFTER the smbd and nmbd daemons

6. test the winbind connectivity
	~samba/bin/wbinfo -u
				-g

See if any of this helps.

could you please give me a contact to such a person ?

from nsswitch/README: This extension provides a "wins" module for NSS
on
glibc2/Linux.

I did, as I wrote in previous email.

i checked the docs and without any tweaking libraries are searched
for in /usr/lib. you can change it with crle command, but in this case
i dont think it needs any changes.

i tried even hosts: wins only, with no luck :(

bash-2.05# ping cww
ping: unknown host cww

i have also ran snoop (sun's network sniffer) and if i do a ping
i cant see any broadcasts nor wins traffic... so i guess
that nss library is not even touched :(

how can i debug it ? truss doesnt show anything useful :|

i need it badly,

terry
