similar to: how do i tell winbind to use PAM

I am new to samba. I followed the docs on samba.com to configure samba as "domain member", security = domain, and to user winbind to authenticate users against windows 2003 AD. well, my question is the steps mentioned the use of PAM to do the authentications against the AD but it doesn't work - do I also need to configure kerberos for this type of installation?

I'm trying to learn how to integrate Linux workstations and servers into a Windows 2000 Active Directory network. I've read and followed the Samba HOWTO, especially the parts about Winbind, and I got my Linux workstation authenticating using pam_krb5 and pam_winbind. klist would show I got a TGT after logging in. Domain users could login and pam_mkhomedir would properly setup a new home

now that all permissions are right - if i create a new user on the win 2003 active directory and specify a home user under profile i will get " the home folder could not be created because: the network name cannot be found" I know for sure I am getting that error because the user home folder doesn't exist yet on the samba machine - is there any way to get the user home created

Greetings, I have followed the steps to get Samba setup as a member of AD. Following the instructions I was able to get the samba server added to the AD. When I run wbinfo -g for example, I see all of the groups on the AD. If I do something like kinit with my AD login, I enter my password and it works. I enter a bad AD password and it fails. So I think alot of this is setup. My problem is I

I know it's ridiculous, but I have a userbase where every username has a space in it. IE: "temp user". Is it possible to use samba to authenticate these users? So far I have been able to accept usernames without spaces flawlessly, but not the ones with spaces. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! -- View this message in context:

I am trying to get smb4k (KDE) client working. It displays the computers on the network but not the shares (localhost has the only share that shows up :-(). The command line may give a clue. This works: # smbclient -L //compaq but it prompts me for a password but I can just press return to get a list of shares.

What is the difference between %u and %U? The documentation says they both return the value of the connected username, but will they return different values?

Hi folks, I have a samba file server joining a Windows 2k AD as member server. I wonder how I can setup the files on the samba share to be modifiable by users, but no one can delete them. Is it possible? linux chattr command doesn't seems to help, and I can only setup windows share permission (full control, read,write) for the samba files from windows interface, not NTFS detailed permissions.

Stupid question ahead background: Our office is moving, and we are currently using a samba server with an aging nt4 pdc. The NT4 will not be a part of the new network, either we replace it or promote the samba (3.0.21c AFAIK) to pdc. To me the obvious choice is to install ldap and promote the samba server to pdc, but... (OK, here it comes...) It is a bit tempting to replace the nt4 pdc

We have this working. however Some developers edit files using "windows editors" and when they then copy them to the Windows Drive Letter which is mapped to a Unix machine, the resultant file is full of ^M characters..... build breaks..... and so on Until now we have been telling users to run "dos2unix" beforehand, but somebody told me that "Samba" can
