I wrote an article some time ago for CentOS 6 and have been using this setup in production since. http://itscblog.tamu.edu/joining-samba-to-a-windows-2008-r2-domain/ My servers that interact with AD allow both AD based file sharing and also SSH access. The most updated configs I use can be found here, https://github.com/treydock/puppet-samba. I just added recent changes where I use AD groups to delegate access to the Linux server. This works with 2008 R2. - Trey On Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 12:23 AM, dnk <d.k.emaillists at gmail.com> wrote: > Can anyone point me to a tutorial on using Active Directory to authenticate > a centos 6 server?
