[Samba] Samba 3.0.14a, Windows 2k3 and ADS

Hi John, read the chapter 7 (and most of the document, very well written
btw)

I seem to be where I needed to already.

In one of your examples (7.3.4.1)
 "5. Validate the operation of this configuration by executing:" ...

It says that getent passwd administrator SHOULD return the administrator but
I get nothing

Instead if I run getent passwd | grep administrator I get..

DEV-DOMAIN+administrator:x:10007:10018:Administrator:/home/DEV-DOMAIN/admini
strator:/bin/false

Now obviously DEV-DOMAIN+ is the AD part of things, is this possible to be
stripped out? Have I missed something in my smb/krb configuration?

Also my script basically looks at /etc/shadow and grabs out usernames and
passwords and puts them to the various .htaccess auth files and squid auth
file.

Now when I run getent shadow it only returns local account information.

My nsswitch.conf has;

passwd:     files winbind
shadow:     files winbind
group:      files winbind

Should I be seeing more info than just the local accounts?  If not, is there
a way in which I can ask the AD / kerberos to provide that information?

Wbinfo doesn't seem to have any option to show crypted passwords...

If it should be (as I am guessing by the "see chapter 7" bit previously
replied to) any ideas why I cant seem to see them/get to them?

Many thanks

Ross

Chapter 7 covers Samba as an ADS Domain Member server.

Nope. Chapter 7 deals with domain member servers and clients in general. It
includes ADS members.

With ADS your Samba server should use Kerberos. To do that on RHEL3 will
require a lot of work. RHEL3 has MIT KRB 1.2.7 - that will not play well
with
W2K3 ADS for which at least 1.3.4 is needed.

I am documenting this now in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

Kerberos.

Use winbind - see chapter 7.
