Hi Folks,
Hopefully an easy question. I've scoured FAQs, books and documentation
and managed to get the above configuration working, but only by straying
from the documentation in Chapter 14, example 14.4 of the Samba HOWTO:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/idmapper.html#id369912
Can someone confirm for me that when Samba is only an Active Directory
domain MEMBER server with an LDAP idmap backend, the "nsswitch.conf"
must still be set with:
passwd: files winbind
shadow: files winbind
group: files winbind
as opposed to:
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group: files ldap
since the People and Groups, structures will not actually exist in LDAP
unless you are setting up for a full PDC?
Thanks!
-Zach.
