Question: Winbind on samba PDC?

Posted by merlimax on Thu 22 Dec 2005 at 15:11

I'm trying to get a transparent user authentication on Squid (which is running on the same machine as a samba PDC) based on user domain access of windows clients.

I'm trying to configure winbind, but i don't have success in obtaining a good answer from "wbinfo -u".

I added the workstation account to the samba domain and joined the client to the domain, obtainining a "Joined domain -domainname-" response.

Nevertheless, "wbinfo -u" answers: "Error looking up domain users", while "wbinfo -g" gives the group lists of BUILTIN (?) domain:

BUILTIN system operators,
BUILTIN replicators,
BUILTIN guests,
 etc.  

Can somebody give me any advice on how to get this working?
