[Samba] Winbind on Slackware - no auth but all the rest OK

[Alexis Tremblay]

Hi list,

I got a Winbind issue that I'm stuck with since a very long time, this
is getting ridiculous.

On our Linux shell server (Slackware 9.1), I Installed the whole samba
from self-compilation, tried many different configure options but
mostly --without-pam --with-ldap, and everything required from all the
HowTos I've read.

I start winbindd via: # /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -F -i -n -d 9 -S

I can query any information from the ADS, wbinfo -u -g -A ... getent
passwd, getent group, etc... all works A+OK.

Then, in another terminal, as a UNIX local user on the same system I
want to "su" to an AD user so I type:

$ su - alexis.tremblay

where "alexis.tremblay" is my AD user on my PDC, Winbind works,
queries via ldap, gets all required info:

[...]
0078 status      : NT_STATUS_OK
child daemon request 48
[ 3879]: lookupsid S-1-5-21-688190787-2786516605-92148756-1107

gave 1 replies
ads query_user gave alexis.tremblay

BUT Then, it stops right there, when I type any password at the
"password: " prompt (from my `su - alexis.tremblay`), it just drops
me. The system never, ever sends the password to the ADS, the "su"
command says  "Sorry" and that's it.

I can "su - alexis.tremblay" as ROOT, without entering any password,
and it'll give me a shell! But nothing works as a normal user.

Mind that I don't have PAM on this Slackware system, shouldn't be
required, I know people have done it without PAM.

Please, if someone could point me in the right direction, would be very great!

Thanks a lot
Alexis Tremblay



My configs follow:

smb.conf (I tried every immaginable combination, but I reverted to
something simple like this):

realm = MYREALM.TLD
netbios name = URI
password server = ip.of.win2k3.server
server string = URI Shell Server %v
security = ADS

winbind enum users = Yes
winbind enum groups = Yes

winbind use default domain = yes
winbind cache time = 10
obey pam restrictions = no

[homes]
