I'd like this fileserver set up so that files created from either type of client have
the same ownership. Basically I need to somehow map my ADS UID/GID's to my UNIX
UID/GID's.
It is *not* important that users have login accounts on the fileserver ... so one idea
I had was this: - Remove NIS from the nsswitch.conf entries on the fileserver. - Edit
my /etc/passwd file on my NIS server so that UID/GID entries for a user are the same
as they ones generated by winbind
Hi Steve,
I think you have two options, use winbind and bin NIS or vice versa.
If you choose to use winbind as you identified you have to worry about mappings being
different on individual
Samba servers, the only way to get around this currently is to use LDAP as your idmap
backend. This stores
the UID to SID mappings centrally for multiple Samba servers to share.
If you choose to use NIS you will have to mess around with smbpasswd and net groupmap
to make users and
groups visiable as valid accounts for Samba. Also your NTLM passwords will not be
sync'd to the domain but
Kerberos auth will work seemlessly. AFAIK
Hope that helps,
cheers Andy.
