RE: Joining an Etch AMD64 Samba server to an existing Windows2003Domain



I am assuming there is more to it than just configuring krb5.conf?
When I run kinit -V username it tells me "Authenticated to Kerberos v5"

Can you recommend where to start reading up on how to go about issuing a
ticket on the AD server? You would think that all of the howto docs out
there would mention this step.

Thanks Greg,

-Jeff.

You are missing the kerberos setup. It is hard to e-mail advice, but you
need to get a proper ticket issues for the admin user (in AD that is) as
the admin user for samba and then join it.

Kerberos is not for the faint of heart.
