[Samba] Clients unable to get group policy...

[Ryan Ashley]

I noticed something different on the page you linked. It must be
outdated or maybe it is setup for a different version of Debian. The
system runs Debian Wheezy AMD64. The paths referenced do not exist. I
also checked several other Debian systems and NONE have the
"x86_64-linux-gnu" directories.

root at dc01:~# uname -r
2.6.32-5-amd64
root at dc01:~# l /lib | grep x86
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      12 Dec 27  2012 ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ->
ld-2.11.3.so
root at dc01:~# l /usr/lib | grep x86
root at dc01:~#

Is this the problem? What version of Debian is the guide for? I believe
Debian 8 was released recently but cannot be sure since it is a systemd
distro I now use Gentoo. If the guide is for 8, maybe we need one for 7
since it is supported until the release of 9.
