samba with winbind under win 2k active directory

[joel reyes_2]

i am using samba with winbind in redhat linux 8 with security = domain in smb.conf
however a windows client can access a share in the samba server only if the samba
server name is added in the logon to restriction option in the Win 2k Active Directory.
For example: username john can login only to computer ALPHAONE, he can only access the samba share if i add the samba server name for ex. SAMBA in the list of
the computers he can logon to. Any suggestions on how to bypass this?

But can he access share in another windows boxes ? Looks like you have a normal issue here...

yes. i ask this question in the samba mailing list. a guy from samba told me to use samba 3.0.0.

[Jerome Henry · Accepted solution]

Yes,
Basically (but don't tell the samba team ! (joking, they do great job) ), security=server is better programmed than security=domain.
If you use AD, then you MUST turn to 3.0 and, what the guy may ahve told you, this issue is to be fixed in next version only (integration with AD).
In between, a good idea would be wether to do it by hand, the way you do, wether to turn to another security parm, such as user.

I think Samba 3 is a little extreme.

Its not been out there very long. You are better off changing security=server and waiting for a stable release of Samba 3 that deals with this issue.

In short, I agree with Jerome.
