Hey , Sorry for late replying.I checked few things on my FC3 machine > wbinfo -t > wbinfo -u > getent passwd for the 1 and 2 the results were right.But in case of 3rd only the Linux accounts were shown.There were no entries for Windows accounts in getent passwd. > 2. If you used a domain administrator account (i.e. in the Active > Directory domain) to get the ticket for your Samba server, then you > should be able to connect to the administrative shares on the Active > Directory domain controller using smbclient without a password. In > other words, something like > > smbclient //ADserver/c$ I did this kinit administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx it then asks for the password i gave the correct password. I restarted smb and winbind service but when i tried to access this smbclient //server1/c$ it asks for the password. I am not able to access the shares without password.I can access the shares after supplying the password but not without giving the password. Any clue regarding this. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover
