Hi everyone, I've been trying to use winbind in order to connect to WinNT PDC for authenticating user and also mapping user/group ids.
We are using RH 7.3 Samba 2.2.3a I've followed the instruction provided in the document "Unified Logons between WindowsNT and UNIX using Winbind" We only want to authenticate SAMBA users so I've skipped the /etc/pam.d/* changes. This is the "impertant" entries of my smb.conf file workgroup = groupserv_melb netbios name = linux-smb netbios aliases = linux-test winbind separator = + winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes template homedir = /home/winnt/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash password server = 138.79.130.20 encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /home/winnt/%D/%U -s /bin/false -M %U The domain has been joined using smbpasswd Here are my questions: Everytime I enable domain logons on SAMBA and try the "wbinfo -t" I get Bad secret When the domain logons is disabled then the secret is good. if I type "wbinfo -u" I get all the domain users not a problem the same with the "wbinfo -g" for groups. Using the "add user script =" parameter trying to access the domain using smbclient eg. "smbclient //linux-smb/homes -W groupserv_melb -I 138.79.161.225 -U tst-steve" The home directory doesn't get created properly. The %D option is EMPTY. The user gets created in passwd/group/shadow but the HOME directory DOESN'T?? I get something like tst-steve:x:10058:10058::/home/winnt//tst-steve:/bin/false in the passwd file (with 2 // instead of the DOMAIN Name). Also winbindd log file complains about port 445 on the PDC [2002/09/30 16:02:24, 2] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_out(858) error connecting to 138.79.130.20:445 (Connection refused) What does that port do? So what is the best way to do it if I want to authenticate the users from the WindowsNT PDC and also give them access to SAMBA shares using the Windows NT permissions?
