Hello Everyone, I must extend my THANK YOU for such fantastic work!, as well as this great resource. I've tried fiddling with AD and samba 3.0 alpha23 as well as a CVS checkout dated APR-16-03. Below are the relevant(Hopefully:)) items of my config. Once I can get a tgt and initial ticket I think I'll be O.K. I was hoping someone on this list could point out a gotcha :). TIA, Jesse. P.S. I was wondering what --with-python would permit? Another P.S. TESTDOM is the netbios name. But all the approx 20 records are referenced in bind. Is this hosts entry necessary for samba to function? # /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of hostname-to-address 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.10.4 tower.eazy.homeip.net 192.168.10.100 TESTDOM # /etc/krb5.conf [libdefaults] ticket_lifetime = 600 default_realm = TESTDOMAIN default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-md5 default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-md5 [realms] TESTDOMAIN = { kdc = testdom.eazy.homeip.net:88 admin_server = testdom.eazy.homeip.net:749 default_domain = TESTDOMAIN } [domain_realm] .testdom.eazy.homeip.net = TESTDOMAIN testdom.eazy.homeip.net = TESTDOMAIN [kdc] profile = /etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf [logging] kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log default = FILE:/var/log/krb5lib.log # kinit jesse@TESTDOMAIN Password for jesse@TESTDOMAIN: kinit(v5): KDC reply did not match expectations while getting initial credentials $ kpasswd jesse@TESTDOMAIN Password for jesse@TESTDOMAIN: kpasswd: KDC reply did not match expectations getting initial ticket # /usr/sbin/smbd -b Build environment: Built by: XXXX@tower.eazy.homeip.net Built on: Wed Apr 23 21:01:11 EDT 2003 Built using: gcc Build host: Linux tower.eazy.homeip.net 2.4.20-r2 #1 SMP Thu Apr 17 22:26:45 EDT 2003 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux SRCDIR: .
