Hi all, is it possible at all to get Samba 3 on AIX 5.2 to join a Win 2003 Domain natively ? All the precompiled versions do not have AD Support and having AIX krb5 installed (let alone using --with-ads)is enough to make a compile run fail - both 3.0.14 and 3.0.20rc2. Might Heimdal solve this ? Has ANYONE got a working installation ? Solving this would make quite a difference to my current life,

Attached is a 500KB read-only .doc file with a Samba and Terminal Server whitepaper. I have tried to hit every known issue and all available workarounds. If anyone has comments or suggestions, let me know. JT has it, so it should end up in the next How-To. Sorry about the file format, but the .pdf was 2.5MB, which I thought was too big to post.

On the same host I want to set up Samba 3.0.9 as a domain member. The question: Can I use the AD Controller as "idmap_backend" _directly_ , skipping the use of winbind ? The problem with using winbind is that users will show up

Hello all, we have joind Samba 3.0.9 to an AD-Domain which is running AD. All is working fine, acces to shares is granted, files are created, deleted. When we start off with assigning ACL's though, they just get ignored, and the User vanishes from the access list in the share manager. Server is Windows 2003, Client is XP Pro. Here is the error we get: Jun 30 13:56:05 w01abnfs07 smbd[17006]:

Hello List, below our smb.conf and loglevel 5 output of a failed authentication. We want to get the Unix User details from MS-SFU using the new idmap_ad Backend. If the Windows User is mapped to local name it's all fine. But if we want to use our SFU Users it fails. We believe getpwnam() on AIX is faulty. "id username" and login works for all users local and AD! Any ideas how to
