Have you edited your /etc/nsswitch.conf file? This needs to be edited if you are running as a domain member server. Look in the documentation if you have problems, but you should be able to edit this file fairly easily.
Look for the lines that look like this:
passwd: files (winbind) shadow: files group: files (winbind)
they should be similar to that (the stuff in brackets is what you should add (without the brackets).
Restart winbind and smb and you should be good to go. (Make sure your shares are writeable as well ie your [public] share: as root type `chmod 777 /export/public` - this gives the world read, write and execute on the dir.
PS. Try to respond via the samba list, this makes it possible for other people to search (so if someone else has the same problem, they can just search the list - "reply all" works!)

Hamish, I feel like I'm getting close!!!!! I worked on it for a while yesterday and when I tried to access the e2efileserver from windows explorer, I got a "Connect to e2efileserver" login window. After entering name and password, it just hung, nothing happended.
I was reading some documentation on modifying PAM files to allow users to access the Linux box. Do you think this is needed in my case????
Thanks again for your time and trying to help a beginning Linux user!!!

Hi Tim
You might not see the e2efileserver there because you are not running netbios - this is easy to check, just type `/etc/init.d/nmb start`. This will start the netbios daemon and you should then be able to get to your server from windows explorer by \\e2efileserver.
You will also need to make sure all those services start when the server reboots (hopefully not too often!), im not too sure how fedora gives a gui to your services, but from a console this should work: `chkconfig --level 35 smb on` repeat this for nmb and winbind (swap nmb etc for smb) - this will make samba winbind and nmb start when the server switches to runlevel 3 or 5 (by default you will be starting in runlevel 5).
Since you will be running e2efileserver as a domain member, I think it would be a good idea to also make sure it does not try to win browser elections (i may be wrong, but i saw some strange things happening when my server started trying) you can do this by adding: "local master = no" and "preferred master = no" to your smb.conf
Hopefully that should give you all you need to run ;) H

Hamish, thanks so much for getting back to me! I made sure to follow all of your suggestions. Also, I made a few changes to smb.conf and now wbinfo -u gives me a list of users and wbinfo -g gives me a list of groups. Making some progress!!!
I made the following changes to smb.conf:
security = ads
When I go to a Windows machine and view the entire network, I do not see an e2efileserver icon (e2efileserver is my Linux box). Any further ideas on what I can do????

Make sure winbind is running (have you edited nsswitch.conf to include winbind?) and that nscd is not running. You can stop nscd and restart all the samba services with `/etc/init.d/nscd stop` then `/etc/init.d/smb restart` `/etc/init.d/nmb restart` `/etc/init.d/winbind restart`
Hope this helps

Hello, I am new to Linux, Samba, and actually servers in general. I am attempting to set up a Linux file server and join it to a Windows 2000 domain. All I want to be able to do is get files from the linux file server and put files on it. I do not want it to be the domain controller.
I join the domain using: net join -S 10.10.10.40 -UAdministrator%password
It tells me that I have joined the domain.
wbinfo -t & wbinfo -p work fine!
Wbinfo -u gives me: Error looking up domain members Wbinfo -g gives me: Error looking up domain groups
Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks a bunch!
