I am trying to find a good how-to on setting up samba to use Windows 2003 for authentication, if anyone knows of a good link let me know. I am using RedHat ES 3 and our Windows is running in native mode with NT style authentication allowed. I cant use ADS and Kerberos because the current version of Kerberos on my RH server is 1.2.7 and from what I have read I need 1.3+ in order for it to work that way. I just cant upgrade right now so I am trying to find a way to get this to work somehow. Any advice would GREATLY appreciated. Thanks Vince

You can't use samba then, as a Domain Member. Maybe you could configure Samba to use your domain as its workgroup & allow all SMB traffic or something like that, if you don't mind a free-for-all with no security whatsoever. --- Chris Covington IT Plus One Health Management 75 Maiden Lane Suite 801 NY, NY 10038 646-312-6269 http://www.plusoneactive.com
Did you do that or has anyone accomplished reinstalling a new version of Kerberos and getting it to work with 2003 AD?

> Did you do that or has anyone accomplished reinstalling a > new version of KerberosYes I've done that back when I used to use Red Hat. Download the MITKRB5 source and install it in a different directory from the RH one. Read the readme files in the MITKRB5 source tarball to learn how to do this. Then when compiling samba, point it to the alternate MITKRB5 location when you compile it. Read the readme files in the samba source tarball to learn how to do this. Then follow this document http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member .html to get samba working with ADS. Make sure you read the end of this page for a Windows 2003 configuration option. --- Chris Covington IT Plus One Health Management 75 Maiden Lane Suite 801 NY, NY 10038 646-312-6269 http://www.plusoneactive.com
If you have all the latest krb5 & samba rpm updates installed, it should work as is. RedHat backports quite a bit of code. RH's current krb5 1.2.7 has stuff from 1.3 already patched in , for example. This is speaking from experience with Whitebox Linux3 ( a RHES3 clone ) using stock rpms and connecting to AD 2003. ----------------------------------------------------- toby bluhm philips medical systems, cleveland ohio tobias.bluhm@philips.com 440-483-5323 "Esquivel, Vicente" <Esquivelv@uhd.edu> Sent by: samba-bounces+tobias.bluhm=philips.com@lists.samba.org 05/20/2005 10:35 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org cc: (bcc: Tobias Bluhm/CLE/MS/PHILIPS) Subject: [Samba] Samba and Window 2003 Classification: I am trying to find a good how-to on setting up samba to use Windows 2003 for authentication, if anyone knows of a good link let me know.

> Yes I've done that back when I used to use Red Hat.ps - even better yet, to avoid the "I don't want to upgrade the system packages" problem, go to www.gentoo.org, download and install Gentoo. Then add +kerberos +ldap +ssl and +winbind to your /etc/make.conf.
