similar to: winbind nss info = sfu is not so much working

Hi Jonathan, Yep, samba sends the domain name as well as the username to the domain controller, and what I think happens is the NT controller sees that the domainname passed is NOT his domain, checks his list of trusted domains, doesn't find it, and says sayonara buddy... I am assuming that 'SATURN' is the netbios name of the win2k client machine? I'm not real clear on how this

I'm using winbind v3.0.22 on Debian Linux as a source for nss info. I have a group that was once known by winbind, but is no more: ------ beging shell except ------ # ls -ld ./ drwxrws--- 10 root $MND000-TT227MV5K24I 4096 2006-05-10 15:41 ./ # ------ end shell except ------ It must have been known, as I was the one who chgrp'ed the dir originally. I know what the group name is

Hello, I followed the steps at http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3487081 for adding a v3.0.21a samba and winbindd server to a MsAD domain and configuring nsswitch.conf to find passwd and group info from winbind. This seems to have worked out fine, except that I can't 'see' or 'recognize' certain groups via getent or via wbinfo -g. E.g. I can see the

There is an instance of Ms.Active Directory that has had the 'Services For Unix' applied. I use winbind v3.0.24 to get user/group info from that Ms.Active directory instance like so: -------- begin smb.conf snippet: ------------ security = ADS realm = mydomain.com workgroup = MYDOMAIN winbind enum groups = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind nested groups = yes winbind nss info = sfu

Hi, there's a bug on bugzilla.samba.org that I'd like to comment on but it's not letting me. It's bug #242, titled "Retrieving UNIX UID/GID directly through Active Directory from schema extension" The person who posted the request talks about using AD4Unix, but I've installed Microsoft's Services for Unix and it made similar schema changes. Specifically, it

I have winbind v3.0.26a running on ubuntu server v7.10 (gutsy). I intend to get user & group info from MsActiveDirectory. However, when I type: getent passwd somerandomuser I get the uid and gid for the user, as recorded in the msad schema by virtue of sfu, but the homedir and loginshell that are returned are like what "winbind nss info = template" would return by default:

When winbind is configured without the 'winbind nss info =' statement (i.e. such that winbind maintains its own local map of SIDs -> UID/GIDs), the following works fine: # cd ~detertj # getent passwd detertj detertj:x:10008:10000:detertj:/home/MSOE/detertj:/bin/bash but when i try to make winbind use sfu for the mapping of SID -> UID/GID, username lookups are

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

new installation of samba v3.0.21 on debian. Joined the samba box to an ActiveDirectory domain. Can enumerate users/groups with wbinfo run locally on the samba box. Can connect remotely to samba box via smbclient Version 3.0.10-Ubuntu linux. Can create new files via 'put' cmd within smbclient. Can login remotely to samba box with ssh client on linux box. Can _NOT_ map a drive to samba

Hello, I've got a linux box running smbd & nmbd versions 2.0.6 with security = DOMAIN, and an NT4 box as the password server. The sole domain controlled by that NT4 box is named "MSOE". All is well with win98 clients. However, Win2k clients that are not part of an NT domain, but simply belong to a "workgroup" named "MSOE", are unable to authenticate. The

Now I'm trying to make it so the Samba accounts can be used for user logins as well. Unfortunately I'm having a bit of trouble with winbind. Whenever I try to do a "getent passwd eknuds", it find the entry in the ldap sam, but the winbind log for my domain comes up with this and the getent displays nothing: [2007/03/07 15:48:46, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(541)

this problem might be more to do with apache than winbind, but I'll start here anyway... Problem: can't get apache httpauth to work with nested groups, though ssh auth (also using pam) to same box does Config: -------------------------------------------------------- software: apache 2.0.55, libapache2-mod-auth-pam 1.1.1, and winbind 3.0.22 pertinent apache config:

suggestion for minor improvement of the smb.conf manpage in the context of the 'idmap backend' parameter. At least as of v3.0.22 the manpage says: Finally, using the idmap_ad module, the UID and GID can directly be retrieved from an Active Directory LDAP Server that supports an RFC2307 compliant LDAP schema. idmap_ad supports "Services for Unix"

I've got samba v3.0.21 on server 'RELIANT' with security=ADS I want MsWin XP clients, that have logged into Microsoft AD domain 'MYDOMAIN' to be able to map a drive to 'RELIANT', and to do so without having to authenticate again. I haven't been able to do so. Here's what happens: the XP client doesn't prompt for authentication (which is good,

wbinfo can turn names into sids, sids into names, and sids into uids. However, getent passwd only finds users in the local /etc/passwd file. Same for getent group. /etc/nsswitch.conf says this: passwd: files winbind group: files winbind shadow: compat I strace'd the getent command. It said it couldn't find /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2, so I made that a symlink to

I started with one dc, 'dc1', running samba v4.0.21, in subnet1. I successfully added two more dc's, 'dc2' and 'dc3', both running samba v4.0.24, both in subnet2. There are several firewalls between subnets 1 & 2. I continued to make firewall holes on behalf of msad after I added dc's 2 & 3. I.e. when they were added, there were patterns of communication

Suppose I want to upgrade a bunch of packages on a system, but in case the upgrade produces unexpected, undesired results, I want to be able to rollback the system to its original state. What is the best way to do that? Often, I won't have, or be able to find, packages for the current installed versions. I.e. If I haven't upgraded postgres for 2 years, it may be that I can no longer

Two related questions about the minor release numbers (e.g. the 'x' in 5.x or 6.x) : 1) What constitutes the o.s. being at a particluar minor release? Typically, when you install you are getting a package set available from a specific minor release number. But what minor release is the o.s. at if I just update the centos-release package, and no other package? Typically, a 'yum

I have two boxes on which I am trying to get idmap_ad (from xad_oss_plugins) to provide uid/gid mapping, and am getting the error: "Could not convert sid <sid of some_user> to uid" The story so far goes like this: Without the line "idmap backend = ad:ldap://<PDC's FQDN>/" in smb.conf, I can successfully do all of: #> wbinfo -S $(wbinfo -n some_user | awk
