Okay, I'm out of my wits here... I have several Linux boxen at the office that I have to make accessible to the general office public via SMB fileshares. Network is a mostly homogenous Windows environment, with an Active Directory PDC. I had initially gotten Samba 3 to work with the ADS (fileshares were accessible, etc.), but for some reason the set up I did was broken. Badly.
Now, I've followed the Samba HOWTOs [1], and I'm lost in limbo. Initially, after setup, I could browse the newly configured Linux box's fileshares from my WinXP Pro laptop (and I do authenticate via the AD). However, I can't access the fileshares subsequently-- without me touching a configuration option whatsover. It's gotten me so frustrated and stumped. FWIW, following are the steps I initiated to set up Samba 3 AD auth (from HOWTO[1]) *) Set up Samba to use AD security (i.e. 'security = ADS' and other related options in smb.conf) *) Initialize Kerberos tickets via ' kinit [EMAIL PROTECTED] ', substituting a valid user account *) Join the domain via 'net ads join -U user_with_join_rights_or_admin' NB: I initialized the Kerberos ticket with a different account than the one used to join the domain. I asked the network admin to join the machine for me. (This might be the source of my problems-- haven't checked/tested it yet.) What am I missing? What should I check? (I can't attach the smb.conf I'm using since I'm at home, but I can attach it later if you guys need it) [1] Samba HOWTO Collection http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ -> especially on joining as a Domain Member http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html#ads-member -- JM Ibanez - A million monkeys can't go wrong... http://www.livejournal.com/~jmibanez/ http://www.mycgiserver.com/~butiki/ -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
