[Samba] domain authentication from a samba server in a samba domain
I have a box running 3.0.7 that is running my domain. I added another samba server at another location to host a few shares for that building. I successfully joined the second machine to the domain and set the 'password server' option correctly. In order to get the second machine to give me anything other than NT_STATUS_LOGIN_FAILURE, I have to create a dummy UNIX account for the domain user and 'smbpasswd -a' it. After this, it will use domain authentication correctly for that user only. I know it is doing domain auth because I set the password with 'smbpasswd -a' to something different than the domain password. The domain password works and the local one doesn't. While this is a workaround, I don't want to have to add dummy UNIX accounts on the 2nd machine for every domain user that should have access to this particular share. How can I set this up so I don't have to do that? I don't really care about the permissions on the share (multiple domain users accessing as the same UNIX user is okay). -- Andrew Gaffney Gentoo Linux Developer Installer Project
