Hi Samba users, I posted a couple of messages to the list over the last week about my problems with winbind, getent and large group entries under Solaris with no responses/fix on the issue. My only option is to approach the problem differently. Some background. The company I work for has approx 900 users defined within an NT Domain. There is a large project at the moment migrating this to active/Windows 2003. A large number of these users will need access to a terminal based application running on a couple of unix hosts and I would like to build some sort of infrastructure that would allow the Unix hosts to authenticate against the NT environment. We have close to 20 Sun servers and would like to have most of these servers authenticating against NT. How would people suggest I best do this? I am guessing that LDAP authentication into active directory may be the best option (if this actually works).
