samba-winbind help

[Skunk]

Im trying to setup a file server here running suse 9.0 and using winbind to authenticate against my win2k dc. Winbind and samba both seem to start up fine. However; when i try to retrieve a user or group listing I get an "Error looking up domain users" message. If i try to retrieve info on a single user i get this message.

Plaintext password authentication failed.
error code was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER (0xc0000064)
error message was: NO such user
could not authenticate user ***** with plaintext password
challenge/response password authentication failed
error code was NT_STATUS_CANT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO (0xc00000da)
Could not authenticate user ***** with challenge response

One thing i didnt notice was that user ***** is different than the user i tried to resolve. EG if i try user1 it tries to resolve ser1. It seems to leave off the first letter. Not sure if this is normal or not.

I created a trust for the suse machine in Active directory thinking that may be it but its still not working and im stumped. Any ideas?

No ideas, sorry, but if you get it working please update your post... I'm looking into doing something similar.

You'd have to open up your windows ldap security to disable encrypted passwords...which defeats the purpose of having a windows based domain in the 1st place....I'm assuming you're using samba 2.x.

I haven't played with Samba 3.x, which I understand supports w2K AD. But, I'd think you'd still have to disable encryption, again, defeating the purpose of having a domain.

If you looking for a cheap way of setting up NAS, I'd suggest one of those pre-build NAS appliances that use bsd or linux kernel, and has the ability to connect to AD.

hope this helps,
