I have just setup winbind on a RedHat EP 3 server with samba 3.0.9 I have everything setup except the pam mods. I have a windows 2003 domain running in mix mode (due to old system that can not be updated) so I am running the samba server in domain mode. smb.conf [global] Unix charset = LOCALE workgroup = <my domain name> netbois name = <host name of server> server string = Samba server security = domain log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 winbind separator = + idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes encrypt password = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd sock options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 wins server = 128.135.182.84 template shell = /bin/bash template homedir = /tmp template primary group = "Domain Users" winbind use default domain = yes [data] path = /home/data browseable = yes writeable =yes ## Q. do I need pam configured for just file sharing? ## Q. how do I / can I add domain groups to the file share for my ACL's ? Q. do I need to created a mapping for this or will winbind just do the translation ( which would be great ). ? Thanks for any time and effort put forth. -Ian
