samba - Jul 2003 - Using PAM - Logging into Linux using an NT Domain account

Hello Samba Users,
I work for the IT Department of a small company and we've already replaced
our NT4 File Servers with Linux servers running Samba. We'd like to replace
some of our windows workstations also. It would be really cool if employee's
could log into the Linux workstations using their existing NT accounts !

Has anybody had much luck using winbind and PAM to allow log on to Linux
worksataions using a windows NT Domain acount ?. Any info, or past
experiences shared will be helpful and much appriciated
Ian Clancy

Just follow this man page:
http://ftp.easynet.be/samba/docs/man/winbindd.8.html
this worked for me. The only extra thing I had to do was to specify the
user to use when winbindd is connecting to the IPC$ share, using wbinfo
-A <user>. Make sure you create backups of pam files before tinkering with
them ;)

Please note that since 9.0, Mandrake Linux allows you to set this up
during installation (in expert mode in 9.0, in 9.1 use the 'advanced'
button in the screen where you set the root password).

On your first bootup you should be able to log in with a domain account.

There may be small complications if you have a Windows 2000 domain, NT
domain will work with no problems.

For more detail on this, see http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba

Buchan
