OK, now I've tried it and it works like a charm. This is a stub for a howto in the wiki: * Verified on a CentOS 5.0 Server install, updated and rebooted. * Install and configure ntp to make sure time is in sync with AD domain controller. * chkconfig ntpd on * patch /usr/share/authconfig/authconfig.py (unless CentOS 5.1) * chkconfig smb on * chkconfig winbind on * set variables to appropriate values for your domain * authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 --enablekrb5 --krb5realm=$KRB_REALM --krb5kdc=$AD_SERVER --kickstart * authconfig-tui --kickstart --enablewinbind --enablewinbindauth --smbsecurity=ads --smbrealm=$KRB_REALM --smbservers=$AD_SERVER --winbindjoin="$ADMIN" --winbindtemplatehomedir=/home/%U --winbindtemplateshell=/bin/bash --enablewinbindusedefaultdomain --smbworkgroup=$SMBWG --enablelocauthorize * create samba share, testparm * (re)start samba * from windows client: net view \\centosserver * try connecting to share * troubleshooting: verify that ntpd/smb/winbind are all started, verify time is in sync on all machines, try logging off/on Windows client The full article would of course include more commands and info.
