AD SAMBA Login problems
 

Hey all,

After configuring Samba using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ac...ryWinbindHowto, I cannot log in to the machine using UBUNTU 7.10. I have tried logging in with my AD account as well as with my UBUNTU account, but no with no luck - keep getting a login failure message :(

I have been through the recovery mode and logged in as root, and made sure that the username existed and changed the password for it, but still the problem persists.

Any ideas why this may be occurring? Have I configured the files incorrectly? Or forgot to do something???

Also when I try to connect from my windows machine to the Ubuntu server, it gives me a login prompt. I supply login details and the login box reappears again - no login failure message or no other message for that matter at all. Any idea why this may occur???

I am a complete UBUNTU newbie (have only been using it for a few days), so any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

t.

So when you're in "recovery mode" and you're gained root access then just copy all the backups of the files you edited over the edited ones. Like pam, nsswitch etc...
If you didn't made a Backup of every file you've touched like it was suggested then you'll be fine within the next reboot.
If not you better backup you're files and reinstall what would be much faster I guess.

Hey odcheck and thank you for your response!

The problem is fixed - I played around with the configuration files, rebooted the machine and hey presto it WORKS! ;)
