Hi,
After a major fight with Samba and Winbind (and my confusion), I finally have my a RHEL v4.0 ES box successfully authenticating against the Active Directory (ads) on a Windows 2003 Server. I installed the latest version of Samba in the process (3.0.20) and SELinux started complaining so I've disabled that for now. I can now telnet, ssh, su, etc... as any of my windows users on the Linux Server. I'll supply the full /etc/smb.conf and /etc/krb5.conf and other related settings to this list once I've got more stable. (There are some of the links I used at the end of this mail.) Now my cry for help. Our company has bought a Dell Poweredge storage box running Windows 2003 Server with 2TB of disc space. This will be used for both Windows and Linux shares (Exchange, Windows Home, Windows Project, /home, /project, etc...). We want to mount both the user and a project directory from this box on to several linux boxes. It is well documented on how to set up a Linux box as a server, but how do I mount [homes] shares with the correct permissions from the Windows server? I also have a /project area, which anyone can access, but all of the files need to have correct permissions as each user creates/accesses them. Can someone please point me in the right direction here? A second question. How using my authentication method, do I customize the shell that each account uses (not just /bin/bash)? Here's my smb.conf for my setup [global] workgroup = <DomainName> realm = <RealmName> preferred master = no server string = <ServerName> with Samba (%v) on %L security = ads password server = <Win2003PasswordServerName> encrypt passwords = yes log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/%m max log size = 50 winbind separator = + allow trusted domains = no idmap backend = idmap_rid:<DomainName>=500-100000000 idmap uid = 500-100000000 idmap gid = 500-100000000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes winbind use default domain = yes template shell = /bin/tcsh template homedir = /home/%U Thanks in Advance, Steve Hobbs Diablo Technologies PS Useful links http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3487081 http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3502441 http://justlinux.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-118512.html -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
