[Samba] Samba 3 trusts with ad.

[David Barker]

Hi all,

I've been working on setting up a samba domain per department here based 
on a central ldap server with some sucess. I've setup samba using a 
mysql passdb, which works fine. I've also been able to get the samba 
domains to trust, and be trusted by an nt 4 domain without any problems. 
So everthing appears to be ok....

What I'd like to be able to do is to get AD domains to trust samba 
domains, so the user account details in samba are accessible to 
departmental domains, so they can have the benefits of AD with the 
central username/passwords. In testing, I can tell an AD domain to trust 
the samba domain, such that users can log-in to the samaba domain whilst 
their machine is part of the AD domain. If I then try and setup 
permissions/file shares on the AD domain servers using the samba domain 
to provide user credentials, it all breaks ;-(

I can see the users, select them, and click on ok. Then it pauses, and 
throws up the message "Unable to lookup user names for display." Anyone 
here ever heard of this before and if so, can it be fixed?
