Hi, I have setup a samba server as a domain member to share print queues.
As I'm doing print quotas, I need the users to be authenticated properly. The setup works except that it appears that I need to add winbind to my nsswitch.conf. This is kind of upsetting as I don't see a reason why I have to share windows users' namespace with my linux users base (mainly root and system users btw). As far as samba is concerned, it creates uid/gid mappings on the fly. Why would it absolutely need the system to be able to resolve username/uids ? Maybe I missed something ? Thanks for your insights. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
