[PLUG] HELP !! Samba as part of an Existing Domain

[Jesse Huestis <jhuestis@comcast.net>]

Hi::

To put it bluntly, I am a little in over my head.  I am still not a 
Linux vet but any standard.  I  can do an install, I can even trouble 
shoot a number of situations, but I am having trouble with this one and 
am rapidly running out  of options to try.  

Facts:

An existing NT Domain which must remain for at least six months.
A new SuSE 8.0 Standard server
Samba 2.x, using OpenLDAP and now PAM-SAMBA

Root mapped users have no issue connecting.  I created a share which 
points to the documentation directory (separate form the main /home 
share) and anyone connects to it fine.  In logging user access, I get an 
error connecting to the PDC indicating I do bit have a trust account, 
but I have joined the domain from the Linux side.  The error in 
authenicating is NT_AUTH_OK or something close to that.

Things I did which may have messed things up are, I  removed the Group 
Shares created by default and recreated them in the Samba section under 
/home/shares .  I additionally set and then removed some recurive rights 
to the group Users and then readded them as regular non recursive 
rights.  Lastly, I added  pam_samba, after all else fails.

User can browse teh shares, but not get authenticated to them with the 
exception of the docs share which everyone has access to

I really think there are really two issues.  The first is the 
communications with the existing PDC, which is not being passed 
correctly on either the PDC SAM side or teh LDAP side.  The second issue 
may be a Linux rights issue.  Here I know how to use CHOW and CHMOD, but 
don't fully understand the impact.  Is there additional layers of security..

Things I am investigating today,:

1) Whether or not Winbind is in use and if so correctly/

2) Pam_samba settings

3) Usermaps as the user names on the PDC are not setup to a clear standard

PLease let me know any additional ideas.

Sincerely,

Jesse
