Hi Takahashi and all those in the list, >>Sometimes AD specific configuration is needed to krb5.conf.
What kind of "AD specific configuration" are you talking about. Can you kindly elaborate? It may be helpful for me. >>Have you set DNS server to 10.25.66.71 and ABCDOM.PQR.COM to the search or domain directive in your /etc/resolv.conf? Can you resolve correct SRV record of the domain on your Samba server? 10.25.66.71 is not my DNS server. In fact 10.25.66.71 is my WINS server. I have therefore included it in smb.conf: # /usr/local/samba/bin/testparm -sv | grep -i wins Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384) Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[Linux]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER name resolve order = wins host lmhost bcast max wins ttl = 518400 min wins ttl = 21600 wins proxy = No * wins server = 10.25.66.71* wins support = No wins hook = # However, I cannot resolve ABCDOM.PQR.COM. It should be taken care by WINS, right? (However, I tried defining ABCDOM.PQR.COM in /etc/hosts file. and also tried setting /etc/nsswitch.conf file with the entry of: hosts: files dns But, nslookup would always first try DNS and return. Had resolved similar issues with above steps successful on unix machine ... but I am now working on a RHEL machine and I have not yet found a successful way to do this) Any suggestions are welcome.
