The menu approach does not work here. I can authenticate users with the pam_smb module. It has instructions with it. The only problem is that user accounts must be created on each system before users can log in. Otherwise, pam_smb works fine to authenticate users. I never had any luck with winbind or ldap bacause those approaches require co-operation of the active directory or the ldap server, and I don't have administrative power there. but, with pam_smb, I do not need it. I can authenticate users without any cooperation from the windows domain administrators.. pj On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 6:56 AM, Gregory Machin <gdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi > In fc 8 there is a facility to authenticate users against AD > on the menu system >> administration >> authentication > > I have configured > Kerberose > LDAP > samba > > These are the errors typical errors I'm getting .. > > Sep 18 13:38:58 technical-vmwareserver winbindd[3563]: [2008/09/18 > 13:38:58, 0] nsswitch/winbindd_util.c:init_domain_list(511) > Sep 18 13:38:58 technical-vmwareserver winbindd[3563]: Could not > fetch our SID - did we join? > Sep 18 13:38:58 technical-vmwareserver winbindd[3563]: [2008/09/18 > 13:38:58, 0] nsswitch/winbindd.c:main(1091) > Sep 18 13:38:58 technical-vmwareserver winbindd[3563]: unable to > initalize domain list > Sep 18 13:45:14 technical-vmwareserver winbindd[3636]: [2008/09/18 > 13:45:14, 0] nsswitch/winbindd_util.c:init_domain_list(511) > Sep 18 13:45:14 technical-vmwareserver winbindd[3636]: Could not > fetch our SID - did we join? > Sep 18 13:45:14 technical-vmwareserver winbindd[3636]: [2008/09/18 > 13:45:14, 0] nsswitch/winbindd.c:main(1091) > Sep 18 13:45:14 technical-vmwareserver winbindd[3636]: unable to > initalize domain list > Sep 18 13:45:52 technical-vmwareserver nscd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to > LDAP server (sleeping 4 seconds)... > Sep 18 13:45:56 technical-vmwareserver nscd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to > LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)... > Sep 18 13:45:57 technical-vmwareserver gdm-binary[3679]: nss_ldap: > reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 4 seconds)... > Sep 18 13:46:01 technical-vmwareserver gdm-binary[3679]: nss_ldap: > reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)... > Sep 18 13:46:04 technical-vmwareserver nscd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to > LDAP server (sleeping 16 seconds)... > > > I'm using the correct username and password to join the domain so I'm > a bit lost .. > > it there a Howto for this ? > I have tried to configure this but have not won yet .. > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines > -- Paul E.
