I have spent the last 4-5 hours scrounging google articles on this and have found 2 solutions. The problem is one of them is something that we will not do (as MS will not support extending AD with Services For Unix(SFU)).

The other is simply configuring kerberos and pam on the linux system. No problem there from what I can tell.

Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0 Default principal: userid@dom.ain

Valid starting Expires Service principal 07/05/06 07:23:03 07/05/06 17:23:47 krbtgt/DOM.AIN@DOM.AIN renew until 07/06/06 07:23:03

Kerberos 4 ticket cache: /tmp/tkt0 klist: You have no tickets cached

The problem though is configuring winbind from the console (all of the linux systems are nothing more than the kernel, ssh and the few apps necessary for the system to do it's job). All the online examples I have been able to find use the linux GUI.

Does anyone know of a document (or mind sharing) how they installed and configured the samba 3 winbind daemon to map SID's to unix uid's/gid's? That would eliminate the need to extend the active directory schema.

thanks,

Greg
