OK, you are running into one of the problems of using a DC as a 
fileserver here, the only RFC2307 attributes used from AD are 
'uidNumber' & 'gidNumber'. You can get around the users home
placement
and shell with a couple of lines in smb.conf:

         template homedir = /home/%U
         template shell = /bin/bash

Restart Samba

There is another line, which works on a domain member:

     winbind use default domain = yes

This (on a domain member) removes the NetBIOS domain name, but it 
doesn't seem to work on an AD DC.

Actually, the homedir is fine, though that's a good setting to know.  I did
add the "template
shell" and that worked, but I don't really care about the shell (yet)
since this is not a
computer people log onto. 

Anyway, the problem is that getent is apparently returning HPRS\mark as the user
to sendmail,
and sendmail is constructing the outgoing email address as HPRS\mark at
ohprs.org -- which is bad.

I already have "winbind use default domain = yes". 

Maybe I need a rewrite rule in sendmail.

btw - I've changed the subject line. This is not about gssapi/kerberos.

Hi Mark,

I've had the same trouble with the DOMAIN\user on my DCs, and as Rowland
has already pointed out, the "winbind use default domain = yes"
configure
option is not honored on a DC.  My guess is that is because a Samba DC can
only be a DC for one domain, so that is why it isn't honored.  If I do
"getent passwd username" on my DCs, they all return
"DOMAIN\username:*:uidNumber:gidNumber:User
Name:/home/DOMAIN/username:/login/shell" which is the same thing as
"getent
passwd 'DOMAIN\username'" returns.  So you can probably change the
configuration of sendmail to drop the "DOMAIN\" from the start of the
username, although I'm not sure how to do that.  The other option would be
to not use winbind, and to instead use sssd.  I've not tried this on a DC,
but I can't see why it wouldn't work.  You would have to remove winbind
from your nsswitch config and add the sssd entries.  Mine looks like this
on my domain members:


# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed,
try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this
file.

passwd:         compat sss
group:          compat sss
shadow:         compat sss
gshadow:        files

hosts:          files dns
networks:       files

protocols:      db files
services:       db files sss

ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files

netgroup:       nis sss
sudoers:        files sss


My /etc/sssd/sssd.conf looks like this:


[sssd]
services = nss, pam
config_file_version = 2
domains = AD.REALM

[domain/AD.REALM]
id_provider = ad
auth_provider = ad
access_provider = ad
chpass_provider = ad

# Set to false if you want to use POSIX UIDs and GIDs set on the AD side
ldap_id_mapping = False

# Note that enabling enumeration will have a moderate performance impact.
# Consequently, the default value for enumeration is FALSE.
# Refer to the sssd.conf man page for full details.
enumerate = true

# Allow offline logins by locally storing password hashes (default: false).
#cache_credentials = true


This might be easier than trying to change the sendmail configuration or
figuring out the "the idiosyncrasies in the winbindd configuration on the
Active Directory Domain Controller" as described on the Samba wiki
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_a_Samba_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller#Introduction
