Hey all you nice Linux gurus (and all the others who think they can a poor newbie like me!)

I'm trying to login to an NT4 server with Winbind but i'm obviously doing something wrong. I've configured Samba, joined the domain and "wbinfo -t" gives me a nice secret. I can also see all the users and groups. Now the problem is that when i boot (i'm using Mandrake 9.2) the domain users are shown on the user list but the login doesn't simply accept a single password! Am i supposed to override the Mandrake login box or what? I am clueless.

Here's my smb.conf:

[global]
printing = cups
pam password change = yes
printer admin = @"Domain Admins"
winbind gid = 10000-20000
load printers = yes
idmap uid = 10000-20000
dns proxy = no
map to guest = bad user
workgroup = GROUP
max log size = 50
log file = /var/log/samba3/log.%m
netbios name = COMP1
smb passwd file = /etc/samba3/smbpasswd
security = domain
winbind uid = 10000-20000
encrypt passwords = yes
password server = SERVER
idmap gid = 10000-20000
printcap name = cups
template shell = /bin/bash
obey pam restrictions = yes
unix password sync = no
preferred master = no
winbind separator = +
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
template homedir = /home/%U
winbind use default domain = yes

What seems to be the problem?

Did you configure PAM? Sometimes that gets in the way of stuff. I don't have any specific advice, because I have not tried to get that functionality to work in Mandrake before, but I know for a fact that there are PAM settings that control this.

How am i supposed to configure PAM? I compiled Samba with pam and added "auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so" into /etc/pam.d/webmin but it still didn't work. I tried to configure it with webmin as well but didn't understand a thing about it and decided to leave it alone. Any bright ideas?

Hey, how did you join the domain? this is my very problem!

If anyone can say how they got to join a domain I would love a very short description of how.
