Oopps - that should have been wbinfo:

wbinfo -a user%password

Steve,

Have you tried authenticating using winbind?  

winbind -a user%password

This should tell you if the actual authentication is working.  If it is then
I would check your directory permissions.

getent passwd give list of user e.g.

GPSC+______:x:10011:10001:_____________:/home/win/GPSC/________:/bin/false

getent group lists all groups on RH box and all domain groups w/members e.g.

sshd:x:74:
GPSC+Administrative:x:10007:GPSC+_____a,GPSC+___t__,GPSC+t_____,GPSC+____l_,
GPSC+______y,GPSC+___n__

NOW, I am guessing that "map to guest = Bad User" is a good thing to use
with my final setup but for now I've #ed it out.  So the stuff in my log
about not being able to has disappeared but I think I need to figure out why
my userid is not being recognized.

How do I troubleshoot this?

You are being treated as a guest user because "map to guest = Bad User"

Bad User - Means  user  logins  with  an  invalid
                password  are  rejected, unless the username does
                not exist, in which case it is treated as a guest
                login and mapped into the  guest account.


This means that your login name or password is not being recognised and you
are being treated as the guest user - default is 'nobody'.  If nobody does
not exist in your domain then you need to create a user called this.

However, that will only get you as far as guest shares - and I suppose you
need to address the actual matter of not being recognised yourself.  Are the
permissions on directory /home/apps 770 with group GPSC+"domain users" or
something similar?

If so then see what you get if you do a 'getent passwd' or 'getent group'.

HTH a bit,
Noel



looks like I am being recognized as a 'guest user' which is a problem but
for testing purposes I have changed smb.conf for this share to allow guest
access, which it does not seem to.

I am also attempting to achieve a successful integration with winbind as I
don't want to manage users on two platforms.

wbinfo -u gives a list of domain users
wbinfo -g gives a list of domain groups
wbinfo -t gives 'secret is good'

Here is my smb.conf:
