Acccess Samba-3 Share on WinXP
I setup Winbind using the Samba-3 HowTo Reference book (pg385) and I can get the entire list of Windows 2000 Domain users using the wbinfo -u command.
Now my question is now what do I do to create a share on the linux box using the users from the Windows 2000 domain? I'm creating a simple file server with which all I want to do is share a simple folder on it and have domain users access it. I can setup a share, but I can't give it domain\user level permissions. How do I do that? |
samba 3 can't participate in an active directory domain yet. it can see it and read it, but not use it.
you have to make sure the workgroup in samba is the same as the domain name. then create linux users with identical names as their windoze names. then 'smbpasswd -a user' and set their password the same as their windoze passwords, after that you can create shares using the user name. There may be another way, but i'm sure it is involved....sql and fun stuff like that. |

"As of the release of MS Windows 2000 and Active Directory, this information is now stored in a directory that can be replicated and for which partial or full administrative control can be delegated. Samba-3 is not able to be a Domain Controller within an Active Directory tree, and it cannot be an Active Directory server. This means that Samba-3 also cannot act as a Backup Domain Controller to an Active Directory Domain Controller."

I'm not trying to make a domain controller. I'm just trying to setup a share using domain users.

ok, try this:
http://www.wlug.org.nz/HowtoSamba3AndActiveDirectory |
i've done all that. it doesn't say how to setup a share either. any other ideas?
|
is there a computer name in the directory for the samba server?
|
yeah.. it's called fileserver1
