Make sure:                                                                      
                                                                                
a) you have joind the domain corrently.                                         
        wbinfo -t  should help there                                            
b) you have something like:                                                     
   winbind cache time = 10                                                      
   winbind enum users = yes                                                     
   winbind enum groups = yes                                                    
   template shell = /bin/bash                                                   
   template homedir = /home/%D/%U                                               
   winbind uid = 10000-20000                                                    
   winbind gid = 10000-20000                                                    
  in smb.conf                                                                   
c) you have tha appropriate domain setting in smb.conf                          
d) your winbindd is running                                                     
e) you have something like:                                                     
    passwd:     files winbind                                                   
    group:      files winbind                                                   
   in /etc/nsswitch.conf                                                        
e) /lib/libnss_winbind.so exists                                                
g) /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2 is a symlink to /lib/libnss_winbind.so              
                                                                                
Assuming all that is correct you definatly should be able to see                
domain users with:  wbinfo -u                                                   
domain groups with:  wbinfo -g                                                  
                                                                                
you should be able to "finger DOMAIN\\User" and get info.                       
                                                                                
If you are still having problems the start a new thread and detail exactly      
what is and isn't working.      


Yours Tony.
