Samba, ADS & Winbind Separator on CentOS 5.4

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



Hi!

    I have a little problem with Samba.  I have an ADS integrated CentOS 
5.4 server.  I had frequent access problem when M$ users create 
directories and files.  So i thought to force users' persmissions by way 
of the "force user" parameter in smb.conf.

    First problem is that the forced users i want to apply are ADS users 
and named like "MYDOMAIN#Joe" in passwd file.  When i use this name in 
smb.conf, i get this error when i run testparm: "ERROR: the 'winbind 
separator' parameter must be a single character.", even if i used 
"winbind separator =#".  If i use "winbind separator =\" and name my 
users like "MYDOMAIN\Joe" in smb.conf, i have no error but users cannot 
access the share.

    Actually, i know that "#" is sometimes used for comments on the 
config file and "\" is sometimes used to escape characters.  Now, what 
should i do to fix the problem?  Change Winbind config to use another 
character?  Use some kind of escaped character in smb.conf?  I'm a 
little lost!


Thanks!
