Than, When you do the getent passwd user you need to actually specify the domain for example if you have 2 domains called DOMA and DOMB and you had users in each you would do getent passwd doma\\username or domb\\username (given \ is your winbind separator ) This should help you with your question I believe James -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+jmauser=fau.edu@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+jmauser=fau.edu@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Budai Laszlo Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 8:11 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] winbind - getent problem Hi, I'm trying to authenticate users from AD.

If the login start with a number, il can cause some problems. linux account must be [a-Z][a-Z0-9]+ but a number at start seems to be allowed but getent look at first char to differenciate a login from a uid. mandriva is patched against that, debian isn't. for suse I don't know.
