I'm sure my krb5.conf is correct is I was using it in my old setup using kerberos+ldap authentication. I found some reference on the Internet to an smb.conf variable "use kerberos keytab = yes" however this doesn't seem to be accepted for Samba 3.4.7 > I am running on CentOS 5.5, samba 3.0.33. > > Apart from that : I have installed SFU on my Windows 2003 AD servers; to me, > it seems that getent passwd <username> yields a result > for the accounts which have an Unix account declared in AD through the "Unix > attributes", and only for these ones (?). I think that's expected behaviour. idmap_ad looks upo uid/gid from AD but doesn't create its own mapping if it doesn't find one. So any user that doesn't have a proper unix uid/gid field won't show up. I also noticed idmap_ad looks at the Windows Primary Group as gid in stead of the group field on the unix tab. Therefor the Windows Primary Group also needs to have a valid unix id assigned.
