But it does not work! Only Administrator can access the contents of shares, users cannot.

Can I somehow ask samba to log the reason for why it denies users access to all shares? I could not find that in any of the logfiles.

By the way the page Pam_winbind_Link had a typo 368 vs 386 in the command
ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/security/pam_winbind.so /lib/i368-linux-gnu/security/
I fixed that in the wiki, ran the correct command, then ran "pam-auth-update" again.
Chown still cannot use AD-Names.

The wiki is confusing. If several more steps are required to get a working AD (like links for nss and pam), it should tell so IN ONE PLACE. Not ask the readers to jump around between several different pages, which themselves point to yet other pages.
