I need to have several EL machines in an AD env. Joining the machines was easier than expected using authconfig, but what happens now is that blahdomain\blahuser gets assigned a different, random ID each time I use a different station. In AD I did specify the UID and GID in the UNIX Attributes tab for blahuser, but it gets totally ignored; so do the other values (for home, shell etc).
Do you have UNIX identity management turned on in AD?
If so I think you can -
idmap backend = ad winbind nss info = rfc2307 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes winbind use default domain = yes winbind cache time = 300
Ideally I'd have all the users assigned a static uid and gid from AD and have /home on all machines mounted from NFS; but right now if I log in with blahuser to another machine my $HOME is owned by another random id. Sugesstions? What am I missing? I'm quite a noob with Windows :)
This is winbind stuff.
