[Samba] Winbind issues! HELP!

[Jason Barker]

I am using winbind for all of my authentication purposes and for controlling
access to shares, etc.
In the smb.conf file, I've got winbind seperator = "\" - you NEED the
quotes, or else samba thinks it is line continuation mark.
Also, for shares, I have lines like:
valid users = DOMAINONE\UserD1-1 DOMAINONE\UserD1-2 DOMAINTWO\UserD2-1
DOMAINTWO\UserD2-2
writelist = DOMAINONE\UserD1-1 @DOMAIN\Domain Admins

Everything is working fine for me. One thing that might not hurt (and if you
have problems), is to but quotes around the account names in the valid
users, writelist, etc. options.
i.e. - DOMAINONE\UserD1-1 would be "DOMAINONE\UserD1-1" and @DOMAIN\Domain
Admins would be @"DOMAIN\Domain Admins"

Yes.  If you're using \ as your seperator you'll need to escape it, though,
I think.

How do you set up who can access what share if you use winbindd without
creating dummy user accounts?  In the valid users = do you need to do put
the user as DOMAIN\USERNAME?

You know, John, if you need to get something working fast, you can manually
configured dummy user accounts on your system and not use winbind at all.
As long as their is a password entry for the NT user, it should be able to
authenticate off the domain controller.  I'm only using winbind so that I
don't have to maintain two lists of users (the NT user list and the password
file).  The only "problem" you might find is that all the user own fields
will be owned by the UNIX equivalent user account, not by the NT Account it
self (i.e. :owned by UNIXMACHINE\USERNAME rather then DOMAIN\USERNAME).

OK.  This is becoming very frustrating!!

I have Samba 2.2.3a installed on a Sun running Solaris 8.  Winbind is
installed and seems to be working fine.  My PC users can map the Samba share
via their NT domain account information (PDC is an NT4 box).

As soon as I copy nsswitch/libnss_winbind.so to /lib and create the symbolic
links (nss_winbind.so.1 & nss_winbind.so.2) my PC users can no longer
authenticate.  

Also, has anyone been able to get Telnet authentication via winbind to work
on Solaris 8??

I am running up against a serious deadline.  HELP!!
