Hello eveyone, Thanks in advance, for what every help you can provide me :) I'm trying to get Winbind to work at home, but I seem to be getting nowhere awfully fast. Here's my situation. I have a server (Redhat 9.0) called Mail... which acts as SAMBA PDC, NIS/NFS, MAIL, DNS and DHCP server. In addition, I have two other servers setup. 1 is an Windows 2000 standalone server, that I've setup for the moment to act as both a file server and print server. The machine account has been created on the domain. The second is a Redhat 9.0 file server. Also on that server (running Samba) I have a machine account created on the Domain. I have a 4th machine, with windows xp and Redhat workstation coexisting together. Both are registered with the Domain. I have no problem logging from both 2000 server or xp machine using a domain user. Because of NIS, I can also log to my Linux boxes with no problem. Where I do have a problem is sharing files on my Linux File server. I assume, because I can't get my Winbind to work, I can't properly share my files, since I can't access neither the Samba Users or groups. On the Domain server, I've created a group called storage, and added the user Roberto to that group. When I go to the file server, if I do ypcat group, I see the group I created (I updated the YP database) If I do ypcat passwd, I see the users I created on the main server. On this same file server I share a directory called storage. Here's an extract of my smb.conf file: [storage] path = /storage valid users = @storage write list = @storage read only = No Everytime I try to access this directory from Network neighborhood, it asks me to log on. I'm assuming that I need Winbind. I've tried installing it, Winbindd is running, I modified /etc/pam.d/logon file auth required pam_securetty.so auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient pam_winbind.so <added> auth required pam_deny.so <added> account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional pam_console.so This is the conf for smb.conf [global] workgroup = SAMBANET netbios name = SERVER server string = Samba Server security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes password server = 192.168.1.3 pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 preferred master = No domain master = No dns proxy = No wins server = 192.168.1.3 winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind separator = + winbind use default domain = Yes printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [storage] path = /storage valid users = @storage write list = @storage read only = No :)
