Winbind...

Hi,

new to this list and Gentoo, keep that in mind

I'm trying to set up winbind on a Gentoo box but I can't get
it to work!

I have joined the domain and I have added winbind
to /etc/nsswitch.conf.  "wbinfo -u" and 
"wbinfo -g" are working but
"getent passwd" and "getent group" only
list the local accounts and
groups!

I have not done anything with my PAM files yet but I think
this
step should work anyway!(?)

Any ideas out there?

Thanks!!!

cat /etc/nsswitch.conf:

passwd:      compat winbind
shadow:      compat
group:       compat winbind

hosts:       files dns
networks:    files dns

services:    db files
protocols:   db files
rpc:         db files
ethers:      db files
netmasks:    files
netgroup:    files

I have found `getent passwd` and `getent group` not to work
entirely  
as expected.

EG:
$ getent group | grep -i dave
domain users: 
10000:administrator,support_399845a0,krbtgt,iusr_bodmin,iwam
_bodmin,mobi 
le user tmpl,user tmpl,power user tmpl,administrator
tmpl,sbs backup  
user,ned,usertemplate- 
lanesre,evelyn,tim,charlotte,dave,mandi,kim,vebra,deanne,ale
x,laura,anne 
,anne.h,gillian,maintenance,gail
$ getent passwd  | grep -i dave
$

This is on a mail server which has been running perfectly on
the  
Windows domain for 18 months. Users are added on the Windows
2003  
server & can then get their mail from the mailserver
running on the  
above Linux host. It seems necessary to restart Samba on the
Linux  
box after adding a user on the Windows server, but I can
assure you  
that Dave has been getting his mail quite happily ever since
the  
system was set up.

My advice is to move on to the next step (PAM) & see
what happens. I  
have always worked off the "Testing Things Out"
section of Chapter 24  
of the Samba manual, "Winbind: Use of Domain
Accounts" <http:// 
www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.
html> and  
have always found following it to work perfectly, but
winbind doesn't  
seem well-documented elsewhere or by 3rd parties.
