No. You only need PAM if you want to use pam (or build pam_winbindd.so) | 2 - Can samba 3 still use ads and winbind without | adding winbind to nsswitch.conf?

Samba has to have a uid/gid for each user/group in the Windows domain. If you don't want to use the global /etc/nsswitch.conf, you could use a chroot environment or a Solaris 10 zone. | 3 - Why does wbinfo -u fail to return entries from | the domain controler periodically? Is this normal | behavior or did I mess up configuration someplace? No. wbinfo -u should consistently return all users. | 4 - wbinfo -u seems to work 80% of the time but | when it takes a long time to query the domain | controller access to any service on the sun server is | slow? enumerating users and groups is slow. We're working on fixing this but for now you might just prefer to set 'winbind enum {users,groups} = no' in smb.conf. This will break any applications that use {set,get,end}{pw,gr}ent() but such application tend to be fairly rare tehse days (although IIRC id and finger are one of them). cheers, jerry ===================================================================== Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ----- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "There's an anonymous coward in all of us." --anonymous -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDQSgXIR7qMdg1EfYRAqFoAKCI5t/v4nIGbtmhaErP2w5IsOjgqgCfdXql nzsYgIU2rZvGB885XzLzbgc= =xUOl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
