Re: [Samba] compiling samba 3.4.8 on CentOS_6.2
Too late to save grief, I've been grieving on this for weeks now. I'm rolling back to 3.4.8 because I heard from several sources that idmap against AD has broken at some point since then. I'd obviously prefer to install 3.4.8 from an RPM or (even better) a yum repository somewhere but can't seem to find any for this distro and/or version. I haven't heard from anywhere that the idmap -- ad problem is fixed in 3.6. Is it? If so, I'd be happy to try that instead. I confess I'm unfamiliar with how to use RPM's to install the source and then compile from there. Install the RPM and then from some newly created source folder I ./configure / make / make install / etc? From the github link below, how do I get an actual rpm file to install? Can anyone point me toward a howto? Or I could get the plain source tarball from samba.org for some later version (that's where I'm getting 3.4.8). But it seems likely I'll have the same trouble with the daemon not starting. Or can anyone answer my actual question? For example, how to get logging working so I can get some clues on why the binary fails to start? Hope to hear from you.

Re: [Samba] compiling samba 3.4.8 on CentOS_6.2
I have been using them on servers, so there are no KDE/Gnome specific stuff there. They work fine, although I haven't tested them in GUI environment. Probably, samba packages could be uninstalled with `--nodeps` flag and then replaced with the SerNet ones. Anyway, rebuilding yourself from SRPMS and installing, or compiling from source you impact on your system the same way. --- wbr, Denis.

Re: [Samba] compiling samba 3.4.8 on CentOS_6.2
From the same source as the 3.6 rpms I've installed 3.4.17. It works, almost. I can log in using an AD account, and the user has a UID matching the AD Unix Attribute UID and a GID matching that of the Unix Attributes Primary Group. The only weird part is that on login I get an error id: cannot find name for group ID , that is, the GID doesn't resolve to the AD name of the Primary Group. If I enter id my uid (same as my emplid) and my ad alias, and the numerical gid but no matching name. Then when it lists my group memberships, it lists the primary group first (by gid only) and then the rest of my AD groups including gid and ad name. Progress. And this would seem to support that idmap backend = ad is broken. Any guidance on resolving the group name?

Re: [Samba] compiling samba 3.4.8 on CentOS_6.2
How is Samba 3.6 against ADS broken? I have Samba 3.6.6 on SL6.2 with ADS and it's running great... In fact on my Windows 7 laptop, with my SSH client, I can SSH in with kerberos, no password entering is needed. :-)Same with Linux to Linux. If you really have to install Samba 3.4 against CentOS 6.2, install these: http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.4/rhel/6/x86_64/ But you really should at least try to stick with Samba 3.6, and get your configuration file correct.

Re: [Samba] compiling samba 3.4.8 on CentOS_6.2
Jonathan, I appreciate the help you've given but you and I are having fundamentally different experiences with 3.5. I've tried everything you've suggested, as well as a bunch of conflicting suggestions from others, with no success. I've narrowed the problem down to the idmap -- ad settings in smb.conf and the best information I have right now suggests that something went wonky in the app sometime after 3.4.8. So right now my immediate objective is to get 3.4.8 running and see if the problem still occurs. A particular help would be at least getting some error in syslog or the samba logs to find out why the binary won't start.
