Okay, I have a functioning Samba/LDAP PDC working. I also have a samba domain member server that uses the same ldap backend. Saying all this, everything works, domain logins, etc. But as I read the samba docs, they suggest that you use winbind also. So far, I haven't used winbind in my configuration and was wondering if I'm missing out on something. Is it necessary to use winbind, even thought I'm not part of a AD domain? With my ldap and samba config as is, I can do a "getent passwd" and it lists all my users. Here's a piece of my smb.conf:
[global] workgroup = DOMAIN server string = Main File Serv log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = H: logon script = %U.bat security = user encrypt passwords = yes ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=org ldap suffix = dc=domain,dc=org add machine script = /sbin/yast /usr/share/YaST2/data/add_machine.ycp %m$ domain logons = yes ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers local master = yes passdb backend = "ldapsam:ldap://ds1.domain.org \ ldapsam:ldap://ds2.domain.org"; wins server = wins support = no netbios name = domainpc domain master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 65 ldap group suffix = ou=group ldap user suffix = ou=people idmap backend = ldap:ldap://ds1.domain.org Is winbind necessary here? - Delamatrix -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
