...hile to provide access to specific folders on *nix machines using Domain security...So I'm reasonably familiar with how file/print sharing works. But what I'm interested in now is providing shell access to *nix machines, without having to manually create accounts on each box. Therefore, windbind.... 1st, if using windbind, and all I want to do is not have to manually create users on the *nix box, do I need to configure ldap in "client" mode on the *nix box ? Or does windbind take care of looking up the user/password info without needing ldap info ? I guess what I mean is, do...

...ccess the server/share. Wbinfo -u and -g return the users and group of my MONTREAL domain. Net ads info also returns the correct information about my domain. I then tried to run getent passwd but that only returned the list of the local account. Content of /etc/nsswitch.conf: passwd: files windbind shadow: files windbind group: files windbind hosts: files dns wins The rest are set as files. I tried to remove files in passwd, shadow and group but when I ran getent passwd it returned nothing. I then replaced windbind with compat and got the same result. What should I do about t...

We're looking at using windbind and AD for our user account details but have run into a small snag. All user accounts in AD are upper case but our linux accounts are lower-case. Is there a simple solution we've overlooked? We really don't want to have to hack this... Thanx, Russell SMithies ============================...

...a FreeBSD 4.8 and Samba 2.2.8a with LDAP before, but never integrated any W2K servers before. As you can see I am a litte confused on how Winbind plays a role. I have read the HowTos and the man pages, but still have the following questions. 1.Will I need to configure Winbind? I understand that windbind provides the group mapping betweeen Windows and Unix. Or is Windbind only necessary when your PDC is a true blue Microsoft PDC? 2.Will I need users accounts on the W2K server, I expect no, because it should authenticate through the PDC. 3.How do I specify group permissions on the W2K server shar...

I have only been on the list a short while today, but mostly see winbind questions...is there a definitive how-to for winbind and maybe faq? Seems we need some better documentation with everyone having questions/problems... Dan

Hello, I'd like to know if in a full samba environment is it better to use winbind or ldap to resolve id's ? users will connect from windows clients, linux clients with samba or also with ssh and nfs maybe.

Hello, After a couple of years using Samba as a DC I figured I would start working it the other way around. I'm using CentOS, the latest and tried to use the GUI manager. I am sort of confused as there are acutally 2 windows. I filled out both and supplied the name of the AD administrator. Do I just put the AD domain in there with .realm after it? (eg testdomain.com.realm)? I tried with

I am currently using Mssfu, nss_ldap, and pam_ldap to enable my linux boxes to auth against MsA.D. and get all their user info from MsA.D. I recently discovered that winbind can accomplish the same without Mssfu, as long as I'm content to be limitted by the winbind config directives 'template shell' and 'template homedir'. I'd like to drop sfu if I can. The 'template

I am trying to download and install Wine of XUbuntu but get the following error. The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine: Depends: binfmt-support (>= 1.1.2) but it is not installable Recommends: winbind but it is not installable Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been unable to find any up-to-date information on the problem with solaris and winbind nsswitch.conf. It seems that Solaris doesn't like the winbind option in /etc/nsswitch.conf very much at all. When using the passwd program, it complains: <snip> # passwd pad passwd: Changing password for pad Supported configurations for passwd

Hi, I run a Fedora 2 box with Samba 3.0.10 as a domain member. The PDC is a Win server with AD. Running winbind, all domain users and groups are visible on the Samba box. To grant a special group of domain users access to parts of a samba share, I would like to - add a *local* group on the samba box (*not* in AD!) and - add some *domain* users to this new group. Unfortunately the trick of

I am trying to map existing users to their old home folders (moved over from a windows box), I have authentication up and running great. And I have all my shares setup and working except for the users home folders. Does this look like a local permission issue? Any help is much appreciated, and thank you in advance for taking the time to read. The home directories are their usernames in

Greetings, Was away from samba for a time, now trying again. I have this working under Solaris 10, but have not been able to get a functional samba Active Directort member server working on Solaris 9 since samba 3.2.15. Later versions Samba will serve file to PC clients, but not permit interactive logins to the host. I see messages like: ld.so.1: su: fatal: relocation error: file

Hi, I'm trying to join ?linux machines to AD domain with the help of winbind. In order to make account managent more easier, I want to create corresponding group maps from every linux native group, then join domain users/groups to the new LOCAL groupmap. At present, BUILTIN groupmap works fine with the steps: net groupmap add sid=S-1-5-32-544 unixgroup=admin ntgroup=BUILTIN\\Administrators

Hi, OS: CentOS 6.3 Samba: 3.5.10-125.el6 winbindd: 3.5.10-125.el6 I have a standalone server with the above. I would like my Windows 7 users to have access to the shares but not have to create local accounts for them. I'm assuming winbindd does this for me. So far the samba set-up appears to work. I have joined the ADS domain. I can use wbinfo to authenticate users. wbinfo -a auser%321

Howdy folks, I'm having a weird issue here. I have winbind running on several other servers on our domain, and they are working fine. From what I can tell the configuration is identical, as I custom rolled my own RPM that set's all the config parameters. What's happening is when I try to ssh to this one specific server, it seems looking at the logs it's trying to continuously

Hello-- I'm working my way through setting up an email server for faculty and staff use at the school my wife teaches at, and while not a Linux whiz, am making good progress so far. The school has a NT 4 server which is used for domain authentication, and I am trying to grapple with whether I can achieve the "holly grail" of synchronized passwords between the email server on Linux

...amba 3.0.x, Linux server I have computer labs and students that would like to login to REMOTE and also local accounts that need LOCAL. There is no way to have a WinXP station belong to two domains. So... If we moved everything onto the REMOTE domain, could Samba be setup with tdbsam or LDAP and windbind to authenticate local accounts, with a local home directory and local roaming profile while also allowing students to login via windbind and connect to their remote home and profile? I have tried this but have so far not had any success. I have a Kerberos ticket and have joined the Samba machine...

Hi list, I have samba-3.0.2-2 rpm installed on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 AS kernel version. I've been using the Samba 3 How-To and messages on various mailing lists to join Samba to an AD domain and authenticate using winbind/pam. So far Samba has successfully become a member of the AD domain and can browse file servers using smbclient but I haven't been able to get winbind working -

I should use an authenticated proxy with Squid, but I have a problem with winbind. I'm working on a PDC, debian squeeze with samba from backport (ver. 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1~bpo60+1 ) Here the problem: I can authenticate users. /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --username=myname --domain=MYCOMPANY password: XXXX NT_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE: Invalid handle (0xc0000008) wbinfo -a myname Enter myname's
