Samba and winbind problem ( Fedora Core 2 )
Hi all,
I am running a Windows NT network, but I want to set up a linux box as a member server of the domain and share files.
I have installed fedora core 2 (brilliant) onto a fairly new HP pentium 4 computer and it is running great. I have went through the instructions in the samba 3 How to and reference guide to do this and I get as far as page 339, section 20.5.
I have added the \\linux1 computer account to the domain, have ran the wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g command and indeed I can see the users and groups from my domain, but the next command is getent passwd which I think is supposed to copy these accounts and populate the /etc/passwd file with them -- but it doesn't, on editing the /etc/passwd file I just see the defaults that were there before.
I have edited the /etc/nsswitch.conf file as requested in the manual:
passwd: files winbind
shadow: files
group: files winbind
and saved it, restarted the smb service the winbind service and the whole machine but I still can't see the domain users in the samba configuration program.
Any ideas?
Alan
