Well, I've followed every how to that I can find. I have some
strangeness. When I log into the unix terminal I have to supply 2 root
passwords...the posix one and the one for root in ADS (they're
different)....to login. The same for a user with both posix and ADS
accounts. Non posix account users cannot login with an ADS account to
the terminal.
Depending on changes to the smb.conf file I get wild results with
winbindd. One config gives users and groups with a wbinfo -u/g
command. Others error out with differing reasons for the errors.
I'm really not sure where the error is...it should be working, but it is
not.
