In my continued attempt to get winbindd working on a simple domain, I decided to go through the documentation in more detail, searching for some possibly hidden clues. In doing so I came across some instruction that left me a little confused...
Fast Start: Cure for Impatience - Domain Member Server http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/howto/FastStart.html#id2512775 The first point is in the example smb.conf you're instructed to use 'winbind use default domain = yes' in the global parameters. Later on, in step 8, the output from wbinfo -u shows the DOMAIN+user output. Having recently learned from my experiences with this, this output is not correct. If 'winbind use default domain = yes' is declared, then you won't see the DOMAIN preceeding the username. You'll just get a list of usernames. This originally confused me before Jerry explained it to me. The next issue is with step 6, where you're asked to configure /etc/nsswitch.conf. Here, the example entries are slightly different than in section 20 of the main documentation - Winbind: Use of Domain Accounts. Step 6 for the impatient suggests: passwd: files winbind group: files winbind hosts: files dns winbind While the instructions in Section 20 suggests: http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/howto/winbind.html#id2574730 passwd: files winbind shadow: files group: files winbind Is this a potential problem? Which is correct? -- Thanks, Sak. ----- bury your heart u s of a history rears up to spit in your face you saw what you wanted you took what you saw we know how you got it-your method equals wipeout -fugazi -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
