Thank you in advance for any help anyone may be able to provide with the following issues I am experiencing.
The first is authenticating users across domains. I have successfully configured Samba to use an AD domain, but when I try to authenticate another user form another domain in the same tree, I get various errors. Can anyone shed some light on what I may be doing wrong or help me configure this? Here are the important settings from my smb.conf. [global] workgroup = NA realm = NA.UIS.UNISYS.COM netbios name = servername encrypt passwords = yes security = ADS password server = IPaddress passdb backend = smbpasswd log level = 0 syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 # winbind separator = + winbind use default domain = no winbind uid = 16777216-33554431 winbind gid = 16777216-33554431 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes template homedir = /home/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash admin users = root, IDs nt acl support = yes map acl inherit = yes As you can see from the config, I am a member of the NA domain. I have no issues with users in this domain and everything works as it should. The problem comes when I try to authenticate users of our other domains... for example EU. Our tree looks like this: UIS.UNISYS.COM |_> NA.UIS.UNISYS.COM |_> EU.UIS.UNISYS.COM |_> etc.. The second issue I have is related to user home directories. I have it set up so that when a user views the SMB shares on the server, they can see their home directory. The problem is that if the directory is not created ahead of time, what they are seeing is not real. The directory is not being created automatically. How can I set this up? Here is the [homes] section of my smb.conf. [homes] comment = Home Directories (RW) valid users = %D\%S browseable = No read only = No create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 Thanks again for any help you may provide. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
