[Samba] Help / Suggestions on how to migrate to AD from smbpasswd
Hello, I have an older standalone Samba 3.0.14 system (security = user) with local users and local home directories and shares. This uses another 'legacy' system for adding linux users accounts. I then use the pam plug-in pam_smbpass pam_smbpass.so migrate to create a smbpasswd entry for users. The UID's up to 8765 are currently in use ie: etc/passwd: noni:x:8765:4251::/home/noni:/bin/bash etc/samba/smbpasswd: noni:8765:bla:bla:[U ]:LCT-4D2B7B16: I hope to have the new system Samba 3.5.4 that I am migrating to use AD (security = ads) for samba and ssh via PAM. Will I be able to do this? How do I keep the current users and their UIG / GID active while changing them to authenticate to AD vs local files?All the usernames match between my local accounts and the domain ones. Except for root - how is root login handled? I assume as 'files' is still in the nssswitch.conf that will work. Will the Samba Add Users script work to add new users. I would expect if a used tried to login via ssh without a local account it would not work, but would (and created the home dir) via Samba. I would also set AssumeDefaultDomain . Should I use Likewise Open for this? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
