[Samba] Help adding RHEL 5.x workstation to Win2008R2 DC
We have a Windows 2008 R2 w/Service Pack 1 domain controller and a RHEL 5.7 workstation. Part of the required security settings on the domain controller are: Network Access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation: Disabled Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts: Enabled Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares: Enabled We would like to add the RHEL 5.7 workstation to the domain controller for user authentication, thus no local accounts in /etc/passwd. But, due to the security mentioned above, conventional methods of adding the RHEL 5.7 workstation to the domain controller result in failures - I've tried both net ads join and the newer Likewise client, both of which fail. Since the domain controller's settings cannot be changed, what options do I have on the RHEL 5.7 workstation side? Are there other products/methods, outside of net ads join and likewise, that might do the job? Thanks. Scott
