I am currently setting up a cluster of Samba servers using DRBD and CTDB. I have gotten the DRBD and CTDB configured on my cluster. I have configured Samba and Winbind to join my active directory domain. Right now I am struggling to get authentication through Winbind to work. My /var/log/secure file looks like my system is not even trying to authenticate against AD. wbinfo -u work great as does wbinfo -g. I am able to successfully authenticate withe wbinfo -a [Username]%[Password]. getent password and getent group do not function. I checked the following links based upon documentation I have read. ls -la /lib | grep winbind lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 May 11 14:52 libnss_winbind.so -> /lib64/libnss_winbind.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 May 11 14:52 libnss_winbind.so.2 -> /lib64/libnss_winbind.so Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
