I'm hoping this is an easy question, but the way my day has gone I
seriously doubt it is going to be.
Today, I installed Samba 3.0.24 with winbind support on my FreeBSD 6.2
server. I am able to join my domain and get information concerning groups
and passwords from the domain controller (Windows 2003) without any
problem.
Where I have run into a problem is using getent to get a copy of the
usernames/passwords and groups moved to the Samba machine. When I run
getent, only information from the local passwd and group files is
displayed. Which leads me to believe this is an nsswitch problem.
To be more specific I think I have made a mistake copying the libraries to
the proper location. I was not able to find libnss_winbind.so in
/usr/samba/source/nsswitch. Instead, I found nss_winbind.so. Is this the
correct file to copy? And, where should these files be copied to on
FreeBSD? From what I have read so far, I am guessing these should be
copied to /usr/lib.
I have run ldconfig and it shows (using -r) libnss_winbind.so.1 and
libnss_winbind.so.2 being listed in the hints file.
My nsswitch has the following configuration
passwd: files winbind
group: files winbind
group_compat: nis
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd_compat: nis
shells: files
Any suggestions concerning how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay
