For all those stuck with this issue. There's a real alternative to winbind, sssd. The following guide should get you started: https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/Configuring_sssd_with_ad_server Using the "realm" command is especially easy.

The smb.conf should then include security = ads realm = GE.LAN kerberos method = secrets and keytab in its [global] section. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307778 Title: getent group on trusty returns only local groups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1307778/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
