[Samba] password authentification
Ed, Thanks, but I have a few more questions. I took a working example of a smb.conf from another machine and placed this into my smb.cnf (see below in red). This is the only thing I did on the UNIX end. To use AD for password verification, I will follow your directions below, but is there anything else I need to do on the UNIX end? What I am trying to say, is how will samba get the password now if there is no password file. I know it will get it from AD, but can you take me through step by step as to what happens. Lets assume I want to map a drive. By doing a join does samba actually go into AD with my login (it must be cached some how right) and look up my password?

The smbpasswd File For security reasons we will place the smbpasswd file in a private directory using the following commands: cd /etc/samba mkdir private cd private touch smbpasswd chmod 600 smbpasswd cd .. chmod 500 private Now we will add a dummy entry to the smbpasswd file.

RE: [Samba] password authentification
Guys, Thanks for your input. I am just trying to keep this as simple as possible. As mentioned, the setup I see now is bush-league where I have to keep track of a users password in (domain and with in samba). I just want to be able to tell SAMBA to use my password server and eliminate the need to keep passwords within SAMBA. That sounds straight forward right? At least I hope it does Being a novice with SAMABA (just started googling it Friday) I did not realize all the pieces involved, SAMBA, kerbros, winbind, AD I will follow the directions and see where it takes me. Any other more comments if you have them would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [Samba] password authentification
Hasn't SWAT been deprecated and unsupported for a very long time? If so - I never heard of that - but then again - I don't spend my days reading about the latest developments in samba - I just take the version which shipped with my OS, and configure it to be useful - and most OSes are still shipping with samba 3.0 in which case SWAT is tremendously useful. I've never yet had any inclination to go above samba 3.0, because it's so stable and more usable than anything which doesn't compile or isn't available precompiled or lacks such a critical feature as an admin interface. But mostly because samba 3.0 ships with all the OSes that I use, and thanks to swat, is easily and consistently configurable and stable. (Speaking for RHEL4, RHEL5, (and centos), solaris, and opensolaris). I am aware newer versions of samba come with fedora and ubuntu, but I never use fedora or ubuntu. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
[Samba] password authentification
All, I am trying to setup samba so that it uses the password from my AD instead of having a password file in SAMBA. I think I have the samab.cnf file setup correctly: [global] workgroup = hshh; security = DOMAIN auth methods = ntdomain password server = ttndc3 max xmit = 65535 socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY ldap ssl = no oplocks = No Can somebody tell me what I have to do on the windows 2003 side to make this work. I am guessing I have to setup a samaba acct in AD but not to sure. Can somebody please verify and maybe send me a screen print. In addition, let me know if I have do anything else on the UNIX end (AIX 5.3).
