Sirs,
I am studying about the Samba servers and I am with a doubt.
I have achieved to configure the trust relationship between two servers,
althought I could only log users that would exist in those two domains
(trusting and thrusted).
Observing the logs I have noticed that Samba could not authenticate the users
that were not common, because it could not create a users locally.
Using the chmod a+s at the archive /usr/sbin/useradd I could make that the
user could be created normally.
this shouldn't be necessary
Ok I know. But without it, authetication doesn´t works correctly.
My doubts are:
- Why is there the need to create the user in the local domain?
because the samba developers thought it necessary for samba to work
within the native system of users/privileges
This is obvious. However it does not clarify me technical. I would like to
better understand about this necessity. Then I will be capable to understand
and to resolve this problem.
- Is there any other way I could get to authenticate such users without
having to create them using root (chmod a+s useradd)?
there is some fairly extensive documentation on usage
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html
Thanks I will try to use this text.
Craig
