One ADDC with linux Debian 7 and Samba4.1 working.}
Im test "NIS" and works fine after we expand the samba 4 schema. ;-)

This is the DC with the problem of getent and can give domain users info only "wbinfo -u".

When list directories with "ls" also display UID instead Domain User ID in the directories.
When i use "getent passwd" this also display passwd file users "unix users" not domain users.

The Domain Works well anyway and i can manage with "RSAT" but if i like manage it with linux its really dificult, because im need give the UID and before check it with  "wbinfo --uid-info" to know how its the owner  of a directory for example.

I really want to manage it with linux, because I come from the old school of samba 2 :-), really depend 100% of microsoft does not make me very happy i think.
 
All clients are conected to this server.

Regards and thanks.
