Hello,
I'm a newbie to samba so I'll shall try and explain this as best I can.
Aim : to share unix files and printers across my active directory domain.
I currently have samba 3.0.11 installed and running on a Solaris 9 machine. I
can see this server from the network neighbourhood but I get prompted for a
password while logging onto any of the samba server. I followed the instructions
at
http://www.rongage.org/manual_samba_howto.html.
One problem I have with the above instructions is when I make the changes to the
/etc/nsswitch.conf file
passwd: compat winbind
group : compat winbind
This changes my root login and i need to copy the old nwwsitch file back in. so
that passwd points to 'files'. I have tried googling on various aspects
of this problem but just seem to find people asking similar questions without
answers.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Client PCs - win XP /2000
Server - windows 2003 server Active Directory.
