Is there a way to have users of the samba server, but not add them by smbpasswd -a <UserID>?
I want the samba server to be a domain member and the users to only authentic from the PDC. These are the steps that I have attempted: Users are in both the Windows domain and the UNIX NIS account 1. smbpasswd -j <Domain> -r PDC -U <admin> Joined the Domain 2. edited the smb.conf file [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = AM netbios name = SUNTST1 server string = SUNTST1 max log size = 0 security = domain password server = * encrypt passwords = yes username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map max open files = 30000 oplocks = No smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 remote browse sync = 40.1.142.11 40.25.17.9 40.25.12.26 40.1.129.224 40.1.129.225 remote announce = 40.1.142.11 40.25.17.9 40.25.12.26 40.1.129.224 40.1.129.225 wins proxy = yes dns proxy = yes 3. restarted the samba server 4. From windows "search for computer" suntst1 unknown 4a. If I add the my userid to the smbpasswd -a <userid> newpasswd = Windows Password 4b. From windows "search for computer" suntst1 AM samba server I want the PDC to do the security, so I do not have to add the users to the smbpasswd file.
