Hi guys, Back to my old problem. Successfully integrated windows 2008 ADS with Samba using winbind and PAM (thanks to Kukks and everyone in the forum and irc). By authenticating with ADS I am able to point ownership to a domain user , but how do you change the computer name field so when subdirectories and files are created, the computer field is named after the machine that is mounting the shared directory and created the file instead of the samba machine server host name. Computer name property in windows is under file properties when you right click on the file properties and under details shows you the computer name field. Can this be done using smb.conf parameters or a script or in the windows side? Below is my smb.conf #GLOBAL PARAMETERS [GLOBAL] workgroup = ARCH realm = ARCH.LOCAL netbios name = ARCHPROJ password server = 192.168.1.40 preferred master = no server string = %h server (Samba %v, Ubuntu) encrypt passwords = true enable privileges = Yes dns proxy = no log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/%m max log size = 50 security = ADS printcap name = cups printing = cups winbind enum users = Yes winbind enum groups = Yes #winbind nested groups = Yes winbind separator = + idmap uid = 600-20000 idmap gid = 600-20000 ;template primary group = "Domain Users" template homedir = /home/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash [WORKSPACE] comment = Home Direcotries path = /home/ARCH/administrator/Workspace valid users = @"ARCH+domain users" read only = No browseable = yes writable = yes
