If the domain mode is native 2000/2003 it probably is not going to work. Or are you trying to configure Samba as the PDC? On the samba server, do you see the users with "wbinfo -u" command? Do you see the users with the "getent passwd" command? If you see the users with "wbinfo -u" but not "getent passwd" verify that /etc/nsswitch.conf has entries for passwd: winbind .... group: winbind .... Can you update your machine to Solaris 10? That has a bundled Samba 3.0.x. (But Solaris 10 has some pretty big changes as well that you may want to avoid for now.) Solaris 8 is no longer a supported platform by Sun. You can also download precompiled samba packages from www.sunfreeware.com BUT I don't think it includes the necessary nss winbind files so you may want to recompile anyway. (I would still use GCC from sunfreeware for this.) If samba is the PDC and the only samba server and you aren't setting up domain trusts then you don't need the winbind stuff working anyway. Solaris 10 is available for both sparc and x86- you can use a spare PC as a test machine even if your final platform will be on sparc. Solaris 9 should also be available for download for both platforms- Solaris 9 is pretty similar from the command line to Solaris 8. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Samba members work in all Windows domain modes, although for example 2.2 won't talk to a default w2k3 dc due to missing SMB signing in 2.2. Volker

However I think would require kerberos configuration on the samba machine- which may open up a whole new set of challenges. (I could never get kerberos to play nice between Solaris and Linux machines, let alone trying to have Samba use it.) Can you set up domain trusts between a Samba Domain (samba PDC) and a Windows domain with a Win 2003 PDC in Native mode? My understanding had been that this was an "NT4" domain trust mechanism. I did try setting up a domain trust trust with a Windows 2008 PDC in "native 2003" mode - which was did not work. (this may have just been a discrepancy between NTLM versions or other security settings rather than a fundamental incompatibility.) The domain trust between Samba and a Win 2003 PDC in mixed mode did work. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
