Thank you for the very quick response. But in trying to follow the suggested link, there are few steps are different.
First, Step 3 is to install various packages. I already have auth-client-config installed which had installed libpam_ldap and libnss-ldap since I simply pulled this system into the test environment rather than rebuild from scratch. I have uninstalled these and then added libnss-ldapd and libpam-ldapd along with the kerberos packages. Issue is that I was never asked for a Kerberos realm or IP of the DC. I should have mentioned that this system is running 10.04, not 12.04. So .. which config file do I need to edit to ensure that the IP of the DC is correctly specified? I also installed nslcd. Step 6: I already have samba-common, and samba-common-bin (latest for 10.04) installed. I'd assume I need to uninstall these and install samba4 instead (especially as step 8 is to join the domain).

Hi Ok, I can understand that. So why not have a look at nss-pam-ldapd with nslcd? It's almost as good as sssd and it's quick and easy to setup: http://linuxcostablanca.blogspot.com.es/2013/04/ubuntu-client-for-samba4.html hth Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
