[Samba] Re: Trusting and trusted domain (home mapping) problem

[Adrian Chow]

Hi Igor,

Regarding the home mapping problem:- I changed my log to level 3.  And I 
got the following log which I think is weird.  (maybe the reason why it 
cannot map).  The problem is :- Logging user_A with domain_A at 
Domain_A_computer gets home directory mapped but Logging user_B with 
domain_B at Domain_A_computers does not get home directory mapped.

This is the log from domain_A_pdc.  The XP computer joins domain_A.  I 
am logging in as user_B from domain_B where domain_B_pdc have mutual 
trust with domain_A_pdc.
The log file is /var/log/samba/xp_computer_name from domain_A_pdc.  It 
is when I run "net use x: /home" or logon to the domain.

   adding home's share [grade2] for user 'UWCSTU\grade2' at 
'/home/UWCSTU/grade2'
----------------------------------------------------------

Why is it adding homes services?  domain_A_pdc should get domain_b_user 
info from domain_b_pdc (which it uses ldap to get the sambaHomeDrive and 
sambaHomePath).  It is like when winbind successfully maps the user, it 
does not know the homepath or the homedrive.

This is the result when I add winbind into nsswitch.conf.  But if I 
don't (like your case)... I cannot even login as user_b for domain_b at 
the xp computer.  It is because the user_b is not even found in the 
local database file.  With winbind in nsswitch.conf, getent passwd and 
getent group will return the user and group in the trusted domain.  And 
the shares will have problem with valid users = @"Domain_B\Domain 
Users".  Igor, I really wonder how your scenario works...

Questions:-
1.  Does your "getent passwd" and "getent group" show the trusted domain 
accounts?
2.  Does your smb.conf for shares work if you want certain groups in the 
trusted domain to access it?  Can you give an example of how to do it? 
(e.g valid users = ... )
3.  I have the proper sambaHomePath and sambaHomeDrive as yours.  Is 
there any winbind settings you have in the smb.conf that cause it to work?
4.  Do you specify the "auth methods" in the smb.conf?
5.  You have winbind running?
6.  Do you have pam_winbind in your pam.d directory files (e.g login, 
ssh...)?

Thats all the questions I can think of now.

Thanks for helping.
