I tried a second install of CentOS with X, thinking perhaps the GUI setup might do something that I was missing in terms of getting samba connected to active directory. However I still can't get this to work (now wbinfo doesn't seem to work either) in CentOS. I also tried Fedora 14.

Then I tried a Ubuntu 11 install and followed their instructions from the wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto

And it worked! I tried to apply the same settings to CentOS setup but I still get no output from 'getent passwd'.

Ubuntu is running version 3.5.11 while CentoS is 3.5.4. Think my best bet is building from source and trying 3.5.11 or 3.5.12 on CentOS? Are there any critical flags that need to be set during the configuration to make sure samba will work with active directory/winbind?

I'm trying to get my CentOS 5.6 machine setup as a Active Directory Domain Member with Windows 2008 level domain and samba 3.5. I haven't tried this before.

I can successfully join the domain and return users using 'wbinfo -u' and groups with 'wbinfo -g' but when I try 'getent passwd' I only get the local users. I'm not sure what element that indicates is failing in the process. I'm not confident in my pam.d/ setup since different guides show different methods of setting this up. The /etc/nsswitch.conf file has been edited to include winbind as a source for passwd/shadow/group.

The only insightful error message I see in the samba logs is this (repeated over and over in all the logs) but I haven't found the solution. Is this the cause of my problems? How do I disable spinlocks? I'm using a prebuilt package from sernet
