I have a question about Samba and Winbind setup. I have successfully setup Samba, Winbind and Kerberos w/out any problems and I am even able to pull all the info from the AD user list running the wbinfo -u, and -g and the getent passwd as well. The question I have is when it comes time to login to the Linux box from via console using my AD account and password it for some reason fail to do so, so I was wondering do I need to create a local account the linux which has the same username in the passwd file? Thanks, Puneet ---------------------------------------------------------- Puneet Talwar

No, if you are using winbind you should not create a local user, you need to modify your pam.conf file (think this is correct for linux I have done it on Solaris) and this is documented in the samba how to guide which can be found on-line at samba.org or included with the source code, thanks Andy. -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+pubsyssamba=bbc.co.uk@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+pubsyssamba=bbc.co.uk@lists.samba.org]On Behalf Of Talwar, Puneet (NIH/NIAID) Posted At: 06 May 2004 16:44 Posted To: Samba Conversation: [Samba] Samba and Winbind ?
