[Samba] Dark Secret of Winbind

[Blanchard, Michael]

Answer to Question 1.

I had this same kind of problem.  Try running winbindd -i -d5 (that should be interactive, debug level 5) and then switch to a different console and try the wbinfo things again, capture the data that winbind puts out and post it here, it sounds like a WINS problem to me.

Answer to Question 2.

I thought the same thing.  The only thing I can think of that might be a problem if you compiled it once, and then installed the rpm and had different paths, but other than that I don't see it causing a problem, that's why .rpm's are so popular!

First of all hello to everybody on this list.

Question 1:

I´m having a little (?) problem with winbind. To be short here is the
situation: Runnign w2k AD on native mode. Linux box is Red Hat 7.2 with 2.4 kernel. Authentication from my W2K Active Directory server fails. I get following outputs with commands-->

wbinfo -t -->
secret is bad
0x000001

wbinfo -u -->
Error looking up domain users

wbinfo -i 192.168.0.1 -->
192.168.0.1 PATRIX 	<-- This is my w2k server

wbinfo -h -->
could not lookup WINS by hostname

ping goes well with IP and name --> So ping PATRIX does work very well

Every test on DIAGNOSIS.txt turns out ok.

Joining domain also goes ok.

Actual logging with smbclient gives "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" - message followed by "Session request to PATRIX failed (Called name not present)"

Anyway, I can´t figure out what is the source of this problem. I have made right (?) adjustments to the lmhosts and hosts file. I have tried various different versions but same problem still persists.

So where is the problem? WINS? Firewall settings? smb.conf? Help me out please.

Question 2:

Since I have tried various version of samba (including the one that came with RH), I have started to wonder if all these problems above might be occuring because of numerous different samba installations. So what is the best way to remove samba and winbind from system ? Including not so obvious files that are spreaded throughout the system.

As an epilogue I must really express my deepest respect to the Samba Team and whole community about sucha groundbreaking work.

With best wishes,
