Query re winbind, primary group enumeration from Active Directory and Services For Unix I am wondering if anyone can explain to me how the GIDs work when using winbind to extract them from an ADS server. I have Unix servers running AIX 5.3 ML-10, an ADS server running Win 2003-SP2 with SFU 3.5 installed. I have been configuring the Unix servers as domain members and using winbind to extract the

I found this article about Microsoft SFU being built into the new Windows 2003 Server R2 very interesting. http://news.com.com/Microsoft+makes+Unix+changes/2100-1016_3-5845790.html?tag=cd.top What does this signify? Is Windows ready to really co-exist with Unix / Linux ... or are they going to try and provide similar functionality because they recognize it is better technology moving forward?

Hi All, I'm having a bit of difficulty getting a CentOS 5.5 Kerberized NFSv4 server working. This server is configured as a Winbind client to a Windows 2003 Active Directory. I've successfully bound it to AD and I am able to authenticate. I've successfully created a NFSv4 entry in /etc/exports to export the /exports directory and I can successfully mount a non-Kerberized NFSv4

I can authenticate users on a default setup of Windows 2000 using 'Security = ADS'. However if I install Windows Services for Unix (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sfu/productinfo/features/default.mspx) I am not able to authenticate or view users from different Organizational Units in the default domain. ??? -- Jason Gerfen "My girlfriend threated to leave me if

I am running a Windows 2003 Server with Microsoft Services for UNIX (SFU) installed which is serving NFS shares to a Redhat Enterprise Workstation v5 Linux machine which is running Samba 3.0.33-3.7.el5. There is also a Solaris 5.6 workstation serving NFS shares. All of these are mounted on the RHEL machine and are visible to Samba. I can read and copy anything from any share using Windows

Hello everybody, I have set up authentication for a Linux Host using MS SFU. Works fine: "getent passwd" show my users, they can login..." 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

Hi all, I'm using dovecot 1.0 RC24 compiled form source on a OpenBSD 4.0, I use IMAP service with maildir storage and my mail client is Outlook 2003. If the root of the user maildir stay on the BSD filesystem everything is right. If the root of the maildir is mount on an NFS drive on Microsoft Windows 2003 server, I always have the same error when I try to move mail (under Outlook) form my

This appears to be an old problem, but is a complete show stopper for us at the moment. We are trying to access an NFS file system, via Samba, from a WinXP client. Within Windows itself everything is fine, but when accessing the shares from within an SFU cshell, an error is returned when a file is created. The file is successfully created, but a "Permission Denied" error is returned.

Hi All, I just enabled nscd to see if I can speed up some operations on our large NFS/NIS environment, however, now that I've enabled nscd I am no longer able to sudo. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Everything was working fine prior to enabling it. -- James A.

Hello, I realize this may be off-topic for this mailing-list, but at this point I am not sure where the problem is continue troubleshooting. We have a server that has Windows Unified Data Storage Server that is supposed the be able to provide NFS shares. I have attempted to setup a NFS share and I think I have it setup correctly on the server. I have the User Mappings created on the Windows

Is anyone currently using CentOS 5.5 with 2008 R2 AD authentication and a fully Kerberized NFSv4? If so would you mind sharing your configuration with me? I have been able to successfully get it working with Windows 2003 as discussed earlier on the list http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2010-July/096374.html With the exception that I had to use dynamic UIDs on the machine since we

On a busy NFS server I've started receiving the following error messages and the system hangs with high load but no work being done. The system is a Dell R510 with 12 x 3TB drives in a RAID-50 configuration. The RAID-50 device is a full disk LVM (no partitions) and one large (36TB) data volume and the system is running CentOS 6.4 fully patched for OS and firmware. Anyone have any hints as

Hi All, I'm looking for input as to how I may restrict some post commit hooks by way of SELinux or some other mechanism. Here's a description of the problem that I need to solve. I have a source code server that support SVN and soon git. The server has no actual users on it and we use CAS with Apache basic authentication to authenticate and authorize users access to the repository.

We have an NFS filer right now that we need to provide our windows users access too. For various reasons they won't use SFU, etc. In our legacy environment we have a file server that does NFS/CIFS natively. In our new environment not so much. We want to provide this service to our users and the solution proposed to me is to utilize SAMBA as the mechanism to do so. After doing exhaustive

Greetings!!! I am using samba 3.0.28 clients authenticating AD R2 with SFU 3.5. I have setup nss info to template, sfu get the uid, gid, home dir and shell from AD. The problem is it seems to be working for sometime, and then it says could not get uid/gid pair. I am assuming some kind of caching is causing this. My understanding with SFU is that, there wont be any mappings and the specific user

Hi, Starting a fresh new thread, the ones about sssd x winbind are getting boring, biased and personal. :) I'd like to bring this to an admin point-of-view to be more useful for other Samba users (aka admins). Consider a network with about 200+ employees, most of them windows user. Happens that one need to provide other non-windows services like e-mail, proxy and many others to them,

Hello, We use a Ricoh Aficio 3035 copier which has multiple functions- one of them is to scan to a folder via SMB/FTP/NFS. We've chosen to scan documents into PDF documents via SMB to user's shared folders on a Windows NT server for several years with no issues. About a year ago the user's folders location was changed to one on Windows 2003 Server also with no problems. Last week I

We currently use a combination of Kerberos and NIS to manage users on our CentOS 6 systems in a Windows AD environment. NIS is provided by Windows Services for UNIX (or something named similarly), which has some issues, and is also not going to be supported by Microsoft in the future. NIS supplies the passed file as well as the auto mount map for home directories as shown by this excerpt from
