I've been following the forums on this subject. I am still having problems implimenting this at my site. I am trying to replace a Novell 5 file server doing single server signon(workstation manager) with a linux/samba server and a W2K ADS server. I tried this with slackware 10.0, samba 3.0.10, MIT krb5 v 3.1 5, openldap-2.1.22 and got it pretty close (could login wihtout password) but had trouble creating users and groups). Decided to reload from scratch to clean up and load newest versions(and to understand more) I now have the following: W2K ADServer = W2KADS.OURORG.OURDOMAIN.ORG Slackware/Samba server = OURSAMBASERVER HP570ML G3 w/Compaq Smart array 640 Slackware 10.1 2.4.29 kernel Loaded the following: Kerboros krb5-1.4 OpenLDAP openldap-2.2.23(Loaded for libraries) Samba 3.0.11 (patched for clitar error) copied /usr/local/samba-3.0.10/source/nsswitch/libnss_winbind.so /lib Added entrys in /etc/hosts and in W2KADS %Systemroot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts Don't know if I need to but: added root and administrator w/smbpasswd added root = administrator admin and nobody = guest pcguest smbguest to smbusers Changed administrator password on W2KADS sync date/time kinit administrator@OURORG.OURDOMAIN.ORG OK klist gives: Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0 Default principal: administrator@OURORG.OURDOMAIN.ORG Valid starting Expires Service principal 02/15/05 15:56:07 02/16/05 01:56:20 krbtgt/OURORG.OURDOMAIN.ORG@OURORG.OURDOMAIN.ORG renew until 02/16/05 15:56:07 Kerberos 4 ticket cache: /tmp/tkt0 klist: You have no tickets cached When I try: net ads testjoin [2005/02/15 15:59:20, 0] libads/kerberos.c:ads_kinit_password(146) kerberos_kinit_password OURSAMBALINUX$@OURORG.OURDOMAIN.ORG failed: Client not found in Kerberos database [2005/02/15 15:59:20, 0] libads/kerberos.c:ads_kinit_password(146) kerberos_kinit_password OURSAMBALINUX$@OURORG.OURDOMAIN.ORG failed: Client not found in Kerberos database [2005/02/15 15:59:20, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(186) ads_connect: Client not found in Kerberos database Join to domain is not valid ??????????????????????????????????? but if I: net ads join -U administrator administrator's password: Using short domain name -- OURORG Joined 'OURSAMBALINUX' to realm 'OURORG.OURDOMAIN.ORG' I then start nmbd, winbindd and smbd wbinfo -t checking the trust secret via RPC calls succeeded getent passwd only brings back local samba users. I understand this is not right(it used to bring back linux and ADS users on my old setup) What do I check now???????????????????????????????
