In order for Samba and Winbind to work properly in a active directory environment, does the domain need to be in mixed mode or can it survice in a domain set to native? Just wondering since we are having all kinds of querky little problems with Samba. For instance, we can map a drive letter to that share delivered via Samba but from that share not able to create a MS share that we can assign NTFS and Share permissions to. Also cannot bring up the MMC and manage the shares through that. (In the Samba HOWTO it states that we should have that capability). Our goal is to get RedHad with Samba to act like a W2K member server in an active directory world and manager shares through the MMC andalso use it for home directories.
I have created a homes share on our samba server here. Why does it not map root to the users home directory when I run a net use H: \\<server_name\homes ? It just maps a drive to the root of homes and not the users directory. The users directory is in there.
