[Samba] AD Integrated authentication

[Urs Golla]

I think, I know how you feel :-)

It seems as if the winbind stuff is not properly configured. I think
you should post your smb.conf and nsswitch.conf.

cheers

Let me start from the beginning.  i'm just a lowly Windows admin but i've been doing this for 10 years, so i'm pretty sure i know what i'm doing (present situation excepted, clearly).  i've got RedHat AS4 and a primarily Windows 2000 domain.  i want to be able to transparently browse to the shares on the RH server from a Windows client without having to authenticate again, which is exactly what the AD integrated authentication is for, right?

If i do "wbinfo -a username%password" both plaintext and challenge response authentication work.  If i do "getent passwd" i get only local usernames.  Same for "getent group" except i get local groups, obviously.  From everything i've read in the man pages and god only know how many online troubleshooting and/or help docs, this just doesn't happen.  Everything that mentions using wbinfo and getent for testing just says "and you can try this and oh, look it works".  i'm paraphrasing slightly.

The logs have been less than ideally helpful since i already know that authentication isn't working... somewhere.
