I'm so close I can feel it :-)
I'm having a problem connecting users to their home directories. Under "My
Network Places" on XP clients I can see my Samba file server ("Hobbes")
just fine. When I double click on it to open it, I get a login/password
prompt that I can't bypass even though I try logins/passwords that exist
on the ADS server and/or the UNIX accounts. Do I have to add these users
under Samba specifically?
I am joined to the ADS domain, I can pull users/groups from wbinfo -t, -u,
and -g. When I use webmin I can even go into the Samba module to add users
to a share and see all the users from my ADS domain pop up in a window.
Here's a copy of my smb.conf (where I think my problem might lie):
workgroup = NLES
realm = NLES.LOCAL
security = ads
password server = calvin.nles.local
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
os level = 10
dns proxy = No
idmap uid = 10000-20000
idmap gid = 10000-20000
template shell = /bin/bash
winbind separator = +
winbind use default domain = Yes
[homes]
comment = %U Home Folder
path = /home/%u
valid users = %U cgoff administrator
# force user = %u
writeable = yes
browseable = no
I think my problem is with the [homes] share, but I'm not sure. Can anyone
give me any pointers on what my issue might be? As I said I can talk to
the ADS server just fine, seeing lists of users and groups. I'm almost
positive I'm not setting up my shares correctly.
