similar to: windbind how-to ?

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for documentation about the specificities of RHEL/CentOS 7.x. It can be either online or in printed book format, and I'm fluent in german, french and english. I have a good books about 5.x: "RHEL 5 Unleashed" from Sams, "Foundations of CentOS Linux" and "The Definitive Guide to CentOS", both from Apress. Can anyone

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 ======================================================================= Attention: The

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

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

Hi, maybe (probably ??) it's me, but it took me more than a week to get winbindd working on Redhat 9. It works now after changing a parameter in smb.conf, but I have NO idea why. Maybe some of you already had the same problem. If so, PLEASE clearify ! Thanks... PS as you will see later, getent group also does not work. This is an independent problem I think... can it have something to do

i'm trying to setup a PDC with my FreeBSD box. i'm following the directions in "Samba Unleashed" by SAMS. in it they mention the creation of a server user account. this is the example they give: useradd -c "Samba PDC fir MYDOMAIN" -M -s /bin/false -n PERSEUS$ other than the fact FreeBSD doesn't use useradd and that pw useradd doesn't have a "-M"

Hey everyone! This Summer we managed to make the Clang Static Analyzer support the LLVM and LLVM-based projects with my mentors Artem Dergachev and Gabor Horvath. For a more detailed documentation please visit my final report: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o9-xEWbzivUGKIOXp9jUNZYq0mkecd5KH5dBN5Hdlu8/ The project in a nutshell: I have fixed the most annoying false positives and added

I've been using winbind successfully for awhile now for user info (nothing in /etc/passwd), but today I tried to use it to pull group info, so I updated /etc/nsswitch.conf (RH 7.3) and then tried to add: valid users = @DOMAIN+group_name and now whenever I click on any folder (share) to open the cpu util goes up, and the connection hangs for awhile, and then eventually it times-out on the

Hi all, As promised, here is the rough design of the upcoming MC-JIT*. Feedback appreciated! (*) To be clear, we are only calling it the MC-JIT until we have finished killing the old one. When I say JIT below, I mean the MC-JIT. I basically am ignoring completely the existing JIT. I will keep things API compatible whenever possible, of course. I see two main design directions for the JIT: --

We're trying to PQ (Priority Queue) packets on a Cisco using ACL's. What we're trying to avoid is hardcoding the IP address in the ACL. We were trying to match by TOS set by Asterisk however it seems we've run into a snag where the packet TOS tends to get reset somewhere on our network. Has anyone had this issue? We're running Cisco everywhere inbetween (even the switches). Is

I posted this to comp.protocols.smb, but I'll give it a shot here too... Background : We have an existing Win2k domain, 2 Win2k domain controllers, all working just fine. I've been using Samba 2.2.x for quite a while 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

Hi, I was able to get my server in the domain. I can see it from ADUC and Network Places. But I can't get it to use AD to authenticate the users that want to access 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

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

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
