Definitive HowTo for CENTOS 5 Winbind - Samba - Active Directory Integration

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi all,

 

I have been out of the linux / unix loop for a good three years now, and a lot has changed..

 

I have a windows 2003 server on my home office lan as my domain controller.

 

I would like to know if there is a good how-to that applies to Centos5 to achieve the following:

 

Joining the centos machine to the AD domain (I believe I have done this already)

 

Sharing files from it using the AD user object credentials (don’t know how to do this yet, using system-config-samba-1.2.39, it does not show the domain users yet)

 

Allowing login to centos using ssh or NX client (got the NX client working for root user and a local tesuser) using the <DOMAIN>\<windowsusername> credentials

 

Correct configuration of the pam related files etc so that centos automatically creates and populates a user home directory for any first time logins

 

I found the following article:

http://www.nixadmins.net/modules.php?page=0%2C0&name=News&file=article&sid=14

 

But I am a bit wary of editing files that I don’t fully understand yet.

 

I installed CENTOS5 with just about every option enabled, all the services, so they should all be there already, I just need to configure them without breaking anything.
