RE: [Samba] I'm confused. What is winbindd supposed to get me?
Along these same lines, I don't have winbind running as of yet (in part due to time constraints and in part due a bit of confusion of winbind configuration) but am still able to interact w/ my W2K domain. The only negative is that the connections to Samba from XP clients is very slow, taking up to a minute for the connection to be made. I'm assuming/hoping that getting winbind up and running will resolve this. -dG -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 8:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] I'm confused. What is winbindd supposed to get me? I've got a Samba member server as part of a Windows NT domain. User accounts have the same name in both domain. I was having all sorts of trouble when winbindd was running with wierd groups showing up.

One thing that I am not clear on as of yet, is how winbind will handle the fact that I have duplicate users on both my Linux machines and on my W2K domain, user1 in AD and user1 in /etc/passwd -dG -Original Message- From: Greg Dickie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 8:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] I'm confused. What is winbindd supposed to get me? Hi, winbind is used to import accounts from a windows machine. If all your accounts already exist on the samba machine then you don't need winbind. If you had a disjoint set of users on the samba machine and the windows machine then you would be able to see the union set by using winbind. Does that help at all?

They are seen as different users. Thats the thing if you have all the same users in AD and /etc/passwd then you don't need winbind.
