+ Samba</ulink> suite version 3.0 and describes functionality not
+ yet implemented in the main version of Samba.</para>
+
+ <para><command>winbindd</command> is a daemon that provides
+ a service for the Name Service Switch capability that is present
+ in most modern C libraries. The Name Service Switch allows user
+ and system information to be obtained from different databases
+ services such as NIS or DNS. The exact behaviour can be configured
+ throught the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file.
+ Users and groups are allocated as they are resolved to a range
+ of user and group ids specified by the administrator of the
+ Samba system.</para>
+
+ <para>The service provided by winbindd is called `winbind' and
+ can be used to resolve user and group information from a
+ Windows NT server. The service can also provide authentication
+ services via an associated PAM module. </para>
+
+ <para>The following nsswitch databases are implemented by
+ the winbindd service: </para>

+ <title>NAME AND ID RESOLUTION</title>
+
+ <para>Users and groups on a Windows NT server are assigned
+ a relative id (rid) which is unique for the domain when the
+ user or group is created. To convert the Windows NT user or group
+ into a unix user or group, a mapping between rids and unix user
+ and group ids is required. This is one of the jobs that <command>
+ winbindd</command> performs. </para>
+
+ <para>As winbindd users and groups are resolved from a server, user
+ and group ids are allocated from a specified range. This
+ is done on a first come, first served basis, although all existing
+ users and groups will be mapped as soon as a client performs a user
+ or group enumeration command. The allocated unix ids are stored
+ in a database file under the Samba lock directory and will be
+ remembered. </para>
+
+ <para>WARNING: The rid to unix id database is the only location
+ where the user and group mappings are stored by winbindd. If this
+ file is deleted or corrupted, there is no way for winbindd to

+ separator so that the unix user names look like
+ DOMAIN\username. In some cases this separator character may
+ cause problems as the '\' character has special meaning in
+ unix shells. In that case you can use the winbind separator
+ option to specify an alternative sepataror character. Good
+ alternatives may be '/' (although that conflicts

+ <title>EXAMPLE SETUP</title>
+
+ <para>To setup winbindd for user and group lookups plus
+ authentication from a domain controller use something like the
+ following setup. This was tested on a RedHat 6.2 Linux box. </para>
+
+ <para>In <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> put the
+ following:</para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+passwd: files winbind
+group: files winbind
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+ <para>In <filename>/etc/pam.d/*</filename> replace the
+ <parameter>auth</parameter> lines with something like this: </para>
+
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
+auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
+auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
+auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_first_pass shadow nullok
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+
+ <para>Note in particular the use of the <parameter>sufficient</parameter>
+ keyword and the <parameter>use_first_pass</parameter> keyword. </para>
+
+ <para>Now replace the account lines with this: </para>
+
+ <para><command>account required /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
+ </command></para>
+
+ <para>The next step is to join the domain. To do that use the
+ <command>samedit</command> program like this: </para>
+
+ <para><command>samedit -S '*' -W DOMAIN -UAdministrator</command></para>
+
+ <para>The username after the <parameter>-U</parameter> can be any Domain
+ user that has administrator priviliges on the machine. Next from
+ within <command>samedit</command>, run the command: </para>
+
+ <para><command>createuser MACHINE$ -j DOMAIN -L</command></para>
+
+ <para>This assumes your domain is called "DOMAIN" and your Samba
+ workstation is called "MACHINE". </para>
+
+ <para>Next copy <filename>libnss_winbind.so.2</filename> to
+ <filename>/lib</filename> and <filename>pam_winbind.so</filename>
+ to <filename>/lib/security</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>Finally, setup a smb.conf containing directives like the
+ following: </para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+[global]
+ winbind separator = +
+ winbind cache time = 10
+ template shell = /bin/bash
+ template homedir = /home/%D/%U
+ winbind uid = 10000-20000
+ winbind gid = 10000-20000
+ workgroup = DOMAIN
+ security = domain
+ password server = *
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+
+ <para>Now start winbindd and you should find that your user and
+ group database is expanded to include your NT users and groups,
+ and that you can login to your unix box as a domain user, using
+ the DOMAIN+user syntax for the username. You may wish to use the
+ commands <command>getent passwd</command> and <command>getent group
+ </command> to confirm the correct operation of winbindd.</para>

+ <title>Notes</title>
+
+ <para>The following notes are useful when configuring and
+ running <command>winbindd</command>: </para>
+
+ <para><command>nmbd</command> must be running on the local machine
+ for <command>winbindd</command> to work. <command>winbindd</command>
+ queries the list of trusted domains for the Windows NT server
+ on startup and when a SIGHUP is received. Thus, for a running <command>
+ winbindd</command> to become aware of new trust relationships between
+ servers, it must be sent a SIGHUP signal. </para>
+
+ <para>Client processes resolving names through the <command>winbindd</command>
+ nsswitch module read an environment variable named <parameter>
+ $WINBINDD_DOMAIN</parameter>. If this variable contains a comma separated
+ list of Windows NT domain names, then winbindd will only resolve users
+ and groups within those Windows NT domains. </para>
+
+ <para>PAM is really easy to misconfigure. Make sure you know what
+ you are doing when modifying PAM configuration files. It is possible
+ to set up PAM such that you can no longer log into your system. </para>
+
+ <para>If more than one UNIX machine is running <command>winbindd</command>,
+ then in general the user and groups ids allocated by winbindd will not
+ be the same. The user and group ids will only be valid for the local
+ machine.</para>
+
+ <para>If the the Windows NT RID to UNIX user and group id mapping
+ file is damaged or destroyed then the mappings will be lost. </para>
