I am the IT administrator for a group of researchers at a university. I have two
SAMBA servers. One running CentOS 6 and one running CentOS 7. Both are running
Samba 4.2.10 (4.2.10-6.el6_7 and 4.2.10-6.el7_2 respectively).
When they were running the previous version of Samba everything worked fine and
and both domain bound machines and non-domain bound machines could log in and
mount/map both individual owned home directories and group directories that used
the “valid users =@group” parameter. User Account Configuration is NIS and
Authentication is Kerberos password. I manage my NIS servers but the Kerberos
and Active Directory Domain controllers are managed by the University IT
organization.
Since the “Update" to samba 4.2.10 the Non-domain bound Macs and Linux
(Ubuntu) machines can no longer log in. Windows machines, both Domain bound and
non-Domain bound can use the servers normally.
I am not running winbindd on these servers. I have tried running it and samba
just quits working for everyone. Probably a configuration issue but not one I
have looked into yet and would like to try and avoid. I have a CentOS6 machine
running winbindd and samba 3.6.23-30.el6_7 but the problems there are on a
different thread.
I have used the same smb.conf file for years across several versions of RHEL and
CentOS and it has worked fine until now.
Any suggestions on where to go from here?
Here is a sample from the smb.conf file with some info redacted.
