linux as a domain client

manab — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:57:05 GMT

can someone help to join my linux samba system as a client to my window 2003 domain. so that i could use my domain username/password to login to my linux box.

Actually i need windows active directory authentication to log into my linux box...not separate linux/samba authentication...

Shalom,

You will need admin rights to at least add computers to the windows domain.

system-config-authentication

That brings up a gui interface to permit complete integration of the Linx pc into the windows domain.

(#) enter authconfig
u will get authetication wizard window
under User Information, select 'Use Winbind'. Under Authentication

at the bottom of the screen
u cna see dns to resolve hosts like these
next u have to set winbind
u can see domain button to authconfig
run net ads join
then save it
next is wbinfo
check wbinfo -u
# winbind
check it getent
First, you will need to add this line:

session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel mask=0077

at the very end of these files:
/etc/pam.d/gdm
/etc/pam.d/sshd
That is, the inserted line will now be the last line in each file.
Now add that same line so that it is the next to the last line of this file:

/etc/pam.d/login
Again, the text to enter is:
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel mask=0077

create a directory for example saj
mkdir /home/saj
chmod 755 /home/saj
ssh red-1 â l Saj\\administrator
