We are working on something very similar to this. I had the same type of questions. Since we had a very limited rollout, I really didn't want to add my Linux-cifs server to the domain because I wasn't sure of the consequences (both technically and politically), so we just do authentication locally -- this requires the user to have a username/password on the server and does not involve AD. I'll be glad to share my smb.conf file. I'm still working out some messages in the /var/log/messages file, but it looks as if its working to some extent. We are in the testing phase. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kenneth Holter Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2010 8:01 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Samba server: Sharing files with Windows clients Hi. I have a RHEL 5 that I'd like to set up as a Samba server, in order to make som directories available to Windows clients. The windows clients are all controlled by Active Directory. Is it so that my linux server need to be set up with Kerberos in order to get things working, or is there a simpler way of doing this?
