[Samba] getent passwd problem (please it's quite URGENT)

[subramanian.ponnusamy at iflexsolutions.com]

Hi,

My ultimate goal is to use this samba installation as a member server without having to maintain NT user accounts on the samba box.

I have installed samba-3.0.1 in three Red Hat 9.0 machines installation went through fine. 

My configuration options for Samba were the following: 

./configure --with-winbind --with-winbind-auth-challenge --with-pam --with-acl-support --with-ldapsam --with-pam_smbpass --with-ads --with-ldap --with-dce-dfs --with-afs --with-smbwrapper

[root at fileserver bin]# ./wbinfo -ug
RAHEJA+sysfmg
RAHEJA+Guest
RAHEJA+TsInternetUser
RAHEJA+IUSR_IFLEXPPSERVER-3
RAHEJA+IWAM_IFLEXPPSERVER-3
RAHEJA+administrator
RAHEJA+krbtgt
RAHEJA+B8D03373-F7A1-4033-8
RAHEJA+newu
RAHEJA+user1
RAHEJA+user2
RAHEJA+user3
RAHEJA+subbu
RAHEJA+Domain Computers
RAHEJA+Domain Controllers
RAHEJA+Schema Admins
RAHEJA+Enterprise Admins
RAHEJA+Cert Publishers
RAHEJA+Domain Admins
RAHEJA+Domain Users
RAHEJA+Domain Guests
RAHEJA+Group Policy Creator Owners
RAHEJA+RAS and IAS Servers
RAHEJA+DnsAdmins
RAHEJA+DnsUpdateProxy
RAHEJA+Exchange Domain Servers
RAHEJA+Exchange Enterprise Servers
RAHEJA+DL

[root at fileserver bin]# ./wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls succeeded

[root at fileserver bin]# ./ntlm_auth --username=subbu
password:
NT_STATUS_OK: Success (0x0)

I get the following errors with some wbinfo tests: 

wbinfo -a subbu%subbu
plaintext password authentication failed 
error code was NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER (0xc000000d) 
Could not authenticate user <user>%<password> with plaintext password 
challenge/response password authentication succeeded 

getent passwd and getent group shows only local accounts is not displaying any AD users/groups But if i give 

[root at fileserver bin]# getent passwd RAHEJA.COM+subbu
RAHEJA.COM+subbu:x:10000:10000:subbu:/home/subbu:/bin/false

/home/subbu not created...

i am not able to access the shares...

herewith i am attaching my smb.conf and krb.conf and nsswitch.conf 

What may be going wrong?  Do i need to modiy any pam.d settings... <<krb5.conf>>  <<nsswitch.conf>>  <<smb.conf>> .

Thanks in advance, 
Subbu
