Hi, I've installed on a Solaris 8 box, using pkg-get (blastwave.org), the following packages : - Samba 3.0.13 CSWsamba + CSWsambaclient + CSWsambacommon + CSWsambalib + CSWsambaswat - MIT Kerberos 1.4.1 CSWkrb5doc + CSWkrb5lib + CSWkrb5user - OpenLdap 2.1.30 (ldap clients,libraries and server) CSWoldap Then, I've verified using smbd -b that samba has been build using LDAP and Kerberos support, it OK, so I did the following config : /etc/krb5/krb5.conf [libdefaults] default_realm = MYDOMAIN.COM [realms] MYDOMAIN.COM = { kdc = 192.0.0.2 default_domain = MYDOMAIN.COM } [domain_realm] .mydomain.com = MYDOMAIN.COM mydomain.com = MYDOMAIN.COM /opt/csw/etc/samba/smb.conf : [global] workgroup = DOMAIN realm = MYDOMAIN.COM server string = Samba File Server - Sun Solaris 8 netbios name = samba security = ADS client schannel = Auto server schannel = Auto client signing = Auto server signing = Auto client use spnego = No socket options = TCP_NODELAY dns proxy = No # idmap uid = 10000-20000 # idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind separator = _ winbind enum users = No winbind enum groups = No winbind use default domain = No algorithmic rid base = 10000 dos filetimes = Yes dos filemode = Yes acl compatibility = win2k inherit acls = yes inherit permissions = yes encrypt passwords = yes I did "net ads join" and it has succeded So, if I launch smbd, nmbd and winbindd they keep on running without crashing, I can see the server in the network neigbourhood, but if I double clic on it an authentication window appears and I can enter a username/password but this windows always appear and I can't access to browse the shares. Output of log.smbd when just typing on a workstation "\\samba" : [2005/07/07 09:49:30, 0] smbd/server.c:(388) open_sockets_smbd: accept: Software caused connection abort [2005/07/07 09:49:30, 0] auth/auth_util.c:(1195) make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

[2005/07/07 09:49:30, 0] auth/auth_util.c:(1195) make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed! And now when trying to authenticate with a valid username/password : [2005/07/07 09:51:11, 0] smbd/server.c:(388) open_sockets_smbd: accept: Software caused connection abort [2005/07/07 09:51:11, 0] auth/auth_util.c:(1195) make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed! Nothing in log.winbindd What is working or not working : wbinfo -t : OK wbinfo -g : OK but only some BULTIN groups not all and not the other groups in AD wbinfo -p : OK wbinfo -u : Not OK : Error looking up domain users net user : OK : I get the full list in output net group : OK : idem net user INFO <username> : OK Do you have any idea of what is wrong ? Thanks
