Hi Edmundo,
We are doing a domain, where users from linux and windows would
exchange information throught share directories, so I think domain
member are necesary on linux box ( windows clients will view linux
clients like windows clients) isn't is?.
I don't know what do you mean by "windows clients will view linux
clients", windows clients only know whats around them if these other
clients have something to share, if they don't have they doesnt exist to
them.
Imagine if in that network you have a Win98 client, it doesnt need a
machine account (it doesnt know how to deal with one), its not a true
domain member, and it doesnt need to be to use the domain. It only needs
to be told to login into the domain.
In that case which functionality have you lost? Maybe the possibility to
grant rights in the local system and filesystem with domain accounts (as
in a WinXP box), (in linux you can do that with LDAP). If you cant find
any functionality that you will use, you dont need it.
Again, Im not telling thats wrong (it works too), but in most ocasions
its not needed. Its much simpler to do it without winbind, you dont need
to worry about idmaps, your IDs will be already the same in all linux
clients, you can use nscd to cache names, etc.
Have you ever configured the shell of your samba server to be able to
use your LDAP users?
Its like that.
Regards.
