[Samba] libnss on solaris

[Wieprecht, Karen M.]

You've already built the libnss_winbind.so files ... Please check the
following

0. This may not have been necessary,  but in our /etc/hosts table,  we made
an alias for the domain controller that is the name of our domain
	10.0.10.11 dc.something.edu ntdomainname
	

1.In /etc/nsswitch.conf: 
	passwd: files nis winbind
	group:  files nis winbind

2. Configure smb.conf file for security = domain and set up the winbind
parameters
	(see samples in many of the docs files)

	~samba/bin/testparm

3. Join the domain
	a. add the system to the domain on the domain controller
	b. ~samba/bin/smbpasswd -j yourdomainname -r yourdomaincontroller

4. start your smbd and nmbd daemons
5. start your winbind daemons AFTER the smbd and nmbd daemons

6. test the winbind connectivity
	~samba/bin/wbinfo -u
				-g

See if any of this helps.

could you please give me a contact to such a person ?

from nsswitch/README: This extension provides a "wins" module for NSS on
glibc2/Linux.

I did, as I wrote in previous email.

i checked the docs and without any tweaking libraries are searched
for in /usr/lib. you can change it with crle command, but in this case
i dont think it needs any changes.

i tried even hosts: wins only, with no luck :(

bash-2.05# ping cww
ping: unknown host cww

i have also ran snoop (sun's network sniffer) and if i do a ping
i cant see any broadcasts nor wins traffic... so i guess
that nss library is not even touched :(

how can i debug it ? truss doesnt show anything useful :|

i need it badly,

terry
