Folks, Sincere apologies for asking this again, but I'm just not getting this to work, and must be missing something here:
My company's network is based around a Windows 2003 server AD, with several RHEL AS 3 boxes connected to it via samba (3.0.21c-1). This scheme works very well. I've set up, and have successfully been using a sendmail-based email system, too. My issue is this: When I create a user account in AD, I have to also create it in the mail server. This is inconvenient and inefficient. I have samba installed on the mail server. I also have the mkhomedir module installed, and the appropriate line to invoke it is in the samba, pop, and smtp.sendmail config files under /etc/pam.d. My users are using the Outlook 2003 mail client. If I create a user in the email server, then Outlook has no problem connecting to the mail server using the user's credentials from the email server. But, if the user is only created in AD, then Outlook complains that the incoming pop server won't authenticate the user, despite the fact that winbind is fired up, wbinfo -u shows the user, and getent passwd shows the user's credentials. Arrrgh! IMHO, this is the one small thing that keeps this from being a really great system. Can anybody show me the way to get over the hump? Many thanks.
