you can setup your samba configuration to have a default Domain so the usernames as the linux machine sees them, will have only the username part (without the Domain) and you can work as expected.

Simply put
winbind use default domain = yes
in your smb.conf

There is a catch though. You can't have users with the same username under different domains

Hi list

Got an odd "problem" here.

But, ive followed the howtos etc getting pam authentication to work etc

Ive just setup imap, the domain username is "test"

When I run getent passwd im returned with

DEV-DOMAIN+test:x:10012:10023:test test:/home/DEV-DOMAIN/test:/bin/false

When I logon onto the windows 2k3 AD as test, it all logs on, sees the Home
drive on the samba server (authenticates etc) but when I setup imap it wont
let me logon.

dev1 imapd[11078]: Login failed user=test auth=test host=[172.16.2.252]
dev1 imapd[11079]: Login failed user=test auth=test host=[172.16.2.252]
dev1 imapd[11083]: Login failed user=test auth=test host=[172.16.2.252]

But when I change the user name on the mail client to what getent password
sees (i.e DEV-DOMAIN+test)

dev1 pam_winbind[11077]: user 'DEV-DOMAIN+test' granted access
dev1 imapd[11077]: Login user=DEV-DOMAIN+test host=[172.16.2.252]

It works!

Why wont it accept just "test" since I cannot expect my users to put in
AD+username

Any thoughts/ideas/magical faq page ive over looked??

Cheers

Ross
