[Samba] Can really anyone help ?

[CIKALA Fr é d é ric ROSI/SIPROD]

ok, lets go on in english
(I precise that i'm quite a newbie with linux ...^^ but i want to learn)
So i d not exactly know what is the use of these files ...


So, here is my smb.conf :
[global]
workgroup = AD
server string = Samba Server //(a SAmba Server ?? why, im just a client ...)
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
security = ads
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = no
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
   idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
   template shell = /bin/false
   winbind use default domain = no
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   guest ok = no
   writable = no
   printable = yes

Now, Here is the nsswitch.conf :

passwd:     files
shadow:     files
group:      files
#hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns
hosts:      files dns
bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
ethers:     files
netmasks:   files
networks:   files
protocols:  files
rpc:        files
services:   files
netgroup:   files
publickey:  nisplus
automount:  files
aliases:    files nisplus

In fact, the only thing i did is to create the user who i want to join then mount the remote share ...
but i cannot even join ...

for information, when i type winbind here is what i got (nothing)
[root at pcp423960pcs dl]# winbindd
[root at pcp423960pcs dl]#

Thank you for helping me because i'm such in trouble with this problem :
I've told everyones of my new job that linux is The Solution (comparing to NT4 + easyPhp) ... and it doesn't work (yet ;))

Oui, je parle français :p

Mais on peut continuer en anglais, pour que tout le monde en profite ;)

So, first can you provide us your smb.conf ?
Next, my first guess is samba can't find your AD controller.
Have you set up the nsswitch.conf with winbind ?

>>Hello everyone,

>>I'm having such a strange problem and i hope you'll understand the situation.

>>To be sure that these login/pwd has the good rights, i tested it.
>>>From a windows box (which is in the same active Directory domain of the file server -which is "AD") i tried to mount the remote HD whith the login/pwd, and everything is ok.

>>But when i use the mount command (from my linux Fedora box #mount -t smbfs ...) i get somme errors but in my /mnt/partage, i can see directories. I also can get trought these, but i cannot see any file .... quite strange isn't it. look :
>>

>>before the command, /mnt/partage is empty
>>
>>I'm not at all an expert of Active Directory but maybe it is impossible to see the files of a filer if the source machine doesn't belong to the same ActiveDirectory Domain.
>>
>>And the docs i found about kerberos or samba are about the users of a Samba SERVER, not about the client.
>>
>>Maybe can someone help me, i sincerly hope because i already spent 3 days about this problems.
>>Moreover, i do not want to return to the old web/Php config (which was an NT4 +esayPhp :-/ ... but it worked ...)
