I have a samba share at /share. I am trying to get it to authenticate it to a single user for right now. It is attached to the domain, and wbinfo -a\-u\-g all succeed. a login command with a domain user only works after a sucessful wbinfo -a "DOMAIN\user%password". This user is then able to authenticate using the "login" command. As of right now whenever I go to this machine from windows, it asks for a username and password just to get into the server, not the share. When going to the share as in \\ip.address\share<file:///\\ip.address\share>, it still goes to a password prompt. My configuration is as follows: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN realm = DOMAIN.LOCAL server string = File server security = ADS map to guest = Bad User obey pam restrictions = Yes password server = DC. DOMAIN.LOCAL pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . unix password sync = Yes syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 dns proxy = No usershare allow guests = Yes panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 template shell = /bin/bash winbind separator = + winbind enum users = Yes winbind enum groups = Yes winbind nested groups = No winbind refresh tickets = Yes idmap config DOMAIN : range = 10000-20000 idmap config DOMAIN : backend = rid [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 printable = Yes browseable = No browsable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers [share] path = /share valid users = DOMAIN2+chris.culpepper, DOMAIN+test, DOMAIN2\\chris.culpepper read only = No [test] path = /home read only = No guest ok = Yes I am pretty sure it is something obvious that I missed, but any assistance would be greatly appriciated!
