People said one minor difference in smb.conf can result in completely different result and now I believe it. The reason that it is wrong is that I don't have 'domain logons = yes' which continue to make samba thinks it is a stand alone server, not a PDC/BDC. After that entry, things is getting better. The LDAP entries are correct, and wbinfo -u gives me :
EXAMPLE\testing which is the user I created. However, 'net getlocalsid' and 'net getlocalsid example' still both gives me the same result : woody:/etc/samba# net getlocalsid SID for domain WOODY is: S-1-5-21-3032950689-949544758-3596382992 woody:/etc/samba# net getlocalsid example SID for domain example is: S-1-5-21-3032950689-949544758-3596382992 woody:/etc/samba# Don't know if it should be the case. As for the UNIX uid/gid mapping, I am wondering if it is possible to just use the same sambaSamAccount(and add posixAccount objectClass) and add the uid/gid mapping for unix there. I have my libnss_ldap setup properly already(that is, I don't need any local entry in passwd or group file) but I don't quite understand how SAMBA works yet. --- jean-marc pouchoulon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >net getlocalsid gives : > >SID for domain WOODY is: > S-1-5-21-3032950689-949544758-3596382992 > > what is the answer of "net getlocalsid > YOURDOMAINNAME" command. > This is the sid of the domain. > It seems that domain name sid and local name > sid can/must? be the > same on the PDC.
