[Samba] Samba server joining domain and browsing group shares

[Victor Mendez]

Alex thanks a lot. The problem was solved. The configuration information you 
provided me was very precise and correct. The problem was with SuSE and the 
YAST2 SAMBA GUI.

What we did  basically was re-install SuSE 10.3, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf 
manually using the parameter you provided, We then commented out the 
parameters SuSE puts on the file by default. Manually modify 
the /etc/krb5.conf file again following your instructions and sample files 
and bingo everything works just fine.

Thanks a lot,  over the weekend we converted the 1st production server with 
this setup and we are converting 2 more win2k servers to samba servers. We 
are only keeping the PDC(It only contains the Active directory information, 
nothing else).

The following is for SuSE user with 10.3 x-64,  shares names defined 
in /etc/samba/smb.conf should be in lower case. It will not work when using 
upper case characters. Another thing when creating groups on the windows PDC 
make sure that the groups are global not local otherwise linux function 
getent will not see them.

Well that does it for us.

Cheers Alex and thanks again ;-)
