Hi,
thank you for your reply.
It is good to know, that we don't have to use winbind, if we are using
users from nis and not from the AD-Domain.
I thought there might be a kind of a way to use winbind without let him
doing the userid generation and the nss things
(as a kind of proxy for including userinformation directly from the
MS-Domain to samba)
Unfortunatly, switching completly to winbind would not be possible in
our heterogenous network (Solaris, IRIX, Linuy, VxWorks...),
and using a third (manually generated) database for hostnames (when
putting them in passwd) near NIS hosts and DNS would be some work too.
As you can see, I am not an expert in SMB things,
but would it be reasonable and if so possible to
- merge nis and winbind (getting users only from nis passwd database and
hosts (only hosts with $ ) from winbind)
or
- ask winbind directly from samba for a machine name (not going through
system nss an back to winbind again)
I am sure, the best way for aur situation would be to move to samba and
openldap as a pdc instead of W2003.
But unfortunatly we are using a Citrix Terminalserverfarm, and I am not
sure, if settings like TerminalServerProfilePath
(we use) are included in samba.
Thank you very much
