Can someone give me some pointers to documentation, concepts on how to integrate Linux desktop into a Windows domain environment to access shared drives / printers. I wonder what other peoples experiences were as well. If possible I want to setup Linux/Samba in such to replicate what an Windows workstation does, authenticate with a domain controller then be able to seamlessly access shares.

Despite configuring winbind and my /etc/pam.d/<files>, I am still unable to actually log into a Linux session (ie, at the gdm login screen or text login prompt) using my NT domain account. Here is my /etc/pam.d/login file: auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so

Hi! As a Samba newbie I have a big problem getting my Win2000 Server PDC users to authenticate to CVS/SSH on my samba 2.2.3a-12.3 debian woody machine. The linux server is member of the Windows Domain, and users can login via the network neighbourhood and their domain passwords (style: DOMAIN\user). wbinfo -u gives me all the known Domain users, so I think winbind is working correctly... Is

Here I go guys! I've already changed the configuration of my sbm.conf, also I made my samba server to be configured as a windows domain, yes! it is found in my windows domain now but as doing double click on this machine (samba) it asks me for a user and passsword, it does not let me get into it, I have created the same samba users as windows, but without any results.

Hi, i've tried to configure samba 2.2.7 + winbind on a Mandrake 9.0 linux system, and all work fine, but i've only a problem: when i connect with any Windows XP Client the system ask to me the Username/password (the computer is in a NT 4 domain) and in the syslog i can see this line: rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:cli_net_sam_logon_internal(406) cli_net_sam_logon_internal:

I have been on the web for hours reading email postings about WINDBIND. Here is the scenario. Samba 2.27 on Redhat 8, installed via the redhat RPMs. the first interesting note was that there is no samba-winbind rpm. It is a part of the samba-common.rpm in redhat. I have been using Samba as a file server for quite some time. And 100% of my issues with it stem from permission problems. So I heard

Hi all, As promised, I have started a howto document on setting up Samba with NT ACL support, based on experiences in my workplace, as documentation for this seems to be on the short side at the moment. It is available at the following address: http://www.bluelightning.org/linux/samba_acl_howto I have yet to convert it to proper DocBook format, and it needs more material (probably

Sorry if this sounds like an advertisement, but in the past 6 weeks or so there have probably been close on 100 questions on getting Winbind working. For those of you who are new to linux/samba, you may want to consider using Mandrake 9.0 for your first implementation, since *everything* (ok, there is one bug which I will mention) is taken care of for you. When installed in expert mode, you

Dear R users, this is a question for R version 1.2.0 under Windows NT 4.0, regarding the documentation of ones own functions.

Is there a way to prevent other users from being able to map a drive from windoww95/NT to anyother user directory on the system. For example I can map to anyone's account on the system and have read only access, is there a way to stop this in either the global or share level? Thanks

Are there any special quirks with Windows 10 and Samba... Using Visual Foxpro 9 on Windows 7 with the data and program files on a Samba file server. Will need to move to Windows 10 in a year so doing some testing. Everything works on one machine with 10 while on another it will not call the main.prg file on the Samba server. Trying to figure out if it is VFP9 issue or a quirk with Samba.

Hi I'm having trouble sourcing or parsing a UTF-8 file that contains characters that are not representable in the current locale ("foreign characters") on Windows.
