#2 Re: Samba ADS integration without Kerberos Posted by simonw (84.45.xx.xx) on Fri 5 May 2006 at 18:22 The winbind separator isn't used anywhere in this article, so the choice is arbitrary is this case. I did note that when I was using the current "Sarge" version of the software, it would use "i" as the separator independent of what appeared in "smb.conf", a clear indication of a serious problem with the Sarge version of Samba. Not sure what the appropriate bug reporting procedure is for a bug already fixed upstream. But the "i" as separator may indicate the bug is worthy of attention from the security people (although I guess running Samba in an insecure environment is kind of like running Windows in an insecure environment) since that looks like a pointer issue. Unfortunately Samba is popular, and I lost the will to live ploughing through the existing bug reports. We now have two articles giving different ways of avoiding the Samba in Sarge, which makes me think Sarge has a problem here. I noted also a bug report saying Samba doesn't work with Microsoft Vista, so clearly some testing needs to go on, and Etch needs to release before Vista, to keep everyone happy. Alternatively, don't buy Vista ;)
