Hi All, I am using winbind for the first time. I can see a list off all the users and groups in a windows 2000 domain from my RH9 box. I use samba to make a few shares available to the windows clients. If i want the windows clients to access the share i have to create their username on the linux box but i do not need to create a passwd for them because winbind is getting it from the w2k DC. Why do i need to create a user on the linux box? Why cant it get it from the DC like with the passwd? I am also trying to login with a user/passwd created on the w2k DC on the RH9 box but it doesnt want to work. I want to be able to login with any domain account on the RH9 box without createing any user/passwd on the RH9 box. I also want to be able to connect from a w2k machine to smb shares without having to create their user account on the RH9 box.Am i doing anything wrong or cant this be done? The RH9 box has successfully joined the w2k domain.
