similar to: windbind or ldap ?

Hello, We had a linux guy here working on this in his busy schedule, but ultimately, he was unable to make it work before he left the department. Is there a good doc that will help someone without much linux experience other than lots of /etc/init.d/servicename restart, using vi to edit the named.zones DNS entries and other similar stuff to configure an existing Samba server as a PDC with

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

I have only been on the list a short while today, but mostly see winbind questions...is there a definitive how-to for winbind and maybe faq? Seems we need some better documentation with everyone having questions/problems... Dan

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

Hello, I've a (maybe stupid?) question, can I use smbclient with domain auth. without netbios ? more explanations : I've 2 machines : PDC (acting as PDC and WINS server) MATISSE (as ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER) MATISSE joined the domain without problem with those parameters on MATISSE: [global] workgroup = LINUXVIRT security = DOMAIN passdb backend =

Hi, I have setup a samba server as a domain member to share print queues. As I'm doing print quotas, I need the users to be authenticated properly. The setup works except that it appears that I need to add winbind to my nsswitch.conf. This is kind of upsetting as I don't see a reason why I have to share windows users' namespace with my linux users base (mainly root and system users

Hi, I know those questions have been asked before but that was more than an year ago. I'm hoping the situation has evolved now. I'd like to use rsync as a backup tool to move around some data. I often have to move hundreds of GB, and that takes some time. I'd like to use rsync so that if something happens, I can restart the migration without loosing what has already been

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

Hi, Have you ever heard of "success stories" with Star Wars Racer? My recent version of WineX just shows a blank 1024x768 screen and does nothing more. Pierric.

Hello, Could somebody tell me the objects of a samba machine account in LDAP with samba 3. I've top, inetOrgPerson and posixAccount... should I have something else ??

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

Greetings, Was away from samba for a time, now trying again. I have this working under Solaris 10, but have not been able to get a functional samba Active Directort member server working on Solaris 9 since samba 3.2.15. Later versions Samba will serve file to PC clients, but not permit interactive logins to the host. I see messages like: ld.so.1: su: fatal: relocation error: file

Hi, I'm trying to join ?linux machines to AD domain with the help of winbind. In order to make account managent more easier, I want to create corresponding group maps from every linux native group, then join domain users/groups to the new LOCAL groupmap. At present, BUILTIN groupmap works fine with the steps: net groupmap add sid=S-1-5-32-544 unixgroup=admin ntgroup=BUILTIN\\Administrators
