+ Integration of UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT through a unified logon has
+ been considered a &#8220;<span class="quote">holy grail</span>&#8221; in heterogeneous computing environments for
+ a long time.
+ </p><p>
+ There is one other facility without which UNIX and Microsoft Windows network
+ interoperability would suffer greatly. It is imperative that there be a
+ mechanism for sharing files across UNIX systems and to be able to assign
+ domain user and group ownerships with integrity.
+ </p><p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>winbind</em></span> is a component of the Samba suite of programs that
+ solves the unified logon problem. Winbind uses a UNIX implementation of Microsoft
+ RPC calls, Pluggable Authentication Modules, and the Name Service Switch to
+ allow Windows NT domain users to appear and operate as UNIX users on a UNIX
+ machine. This chapter describes the Winbind system, explaining the functionality
+ it provides, how it is configured, and how it works internally.
+ </p><p>
+ Winbind provides three separate functions:
+ </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
+ Authentication of user credentials (via PAM).
+ </p></li><li><p>
+ Identity resolution (via NSS).
+ </p></li><li><p>
+ Winbind maintains a database called winbind_idmap.tdb in which it stores
+ mappings between UNIX UIDs / GIDs and NT SIDs. This mapping is used only
+ for users and groups that do not have a local UID/GID. It stored the UID/GID
+ allocated from the idmap uid/gid range that it has mapped to the NT SID.
+ If <i class="parameter"><tt>idmap backend</tt></i> has been specified as ldapsam:url
+ then instead of using a local mapping Winbind will obtain this information
+ from the LDAP database.
+ </p></li></ul></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
+ If <b class="command">winbindd</b> is not running, smbd (which calls <b class="command">winbindd</b>) will fall back to
+ using purely local information from <tt class="filename">/etc/passwd</tt> and <tt class="filename">/etc/group</tt> and no dynamic
+ mapping will be used.
+ </p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2949476"></a>Introduction</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>It is well known that UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT have
+ different models for representing user and group information and
+ use different technologies for implementing them. This fact has
+ made it difficult to integrate the two systems in a satisfactory
+ manner.</p><p>One common solution in use today has been to create
+ identically named user accounts on both the UNIX and Windows systems
+ and use the Samba suite of programs to provide file and print services
+ between the two. This solution is far from perfect, however, as
+ adding and deleting users on both sets of machines becomes a chore
+ and two sets of passwords are required both of which
+ can lead to synchronization problems between the UNIX and Windows
+ systems and confusion for users.</p><p>We divide the unified logon problem for UNIX machines into
+ three smaller problems:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Obtaining Windows NT user and group information.
+ </p></li><li><p>Authenticating Windows NT users.
+ </p></li><li><p>Password changing for Windows NT users.
+ </p></li></ul></div><p>Ideally, a prospective solution to the unified logon problem
+ would satisfy all the above components without duplication of
+ information on the UNIX machines and without creating additional
+ tasks for the system administrator when maintaining users and
+ groups on either system. The Winbind system provides a simple
+ and elegant solution to all three components of the unified logon
+ problem.</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2949558"></a>What Winbind Provides</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>Winbind unifies UNIX and Windows NT account management by
+ allowing a UNIX box to become a full member of an NT domain. Once
+ this is done the UNIX box will see NT users and groups as if
+ they were &#8220;<span class="quote">native</span>&#8221; UNIX users and groups, allowing the NT domain
+ to be used in much the same manner that NIS+ is used within
+ UNIX-only environments.</p><p>The end result is that whenever any
+ program on the UNIX machine asks the operating system to lookup
+ a user or group name, the query will be resolved by asking the
+ NT Domain Controller for the specified domain to do the lookup.
+ Because Winbind hooks into the operating system at a low level
+ (via the NSS name resolution modules in the C library), this
+ redirection to the NT Domain Controller is completely
+ transparent.</p><p>Users on the UNIX machine can then use NT user and group
+ names as they would &#8220;<span class="quote">native</span>&#8221; UNIX names. They can chown files
+ so they are owned by NT domain users or even login to the
+ UNIX machine and run a UNIX X-Window session as a domain user.</p><p>The only obvious indication that Winbind is being used is
+ that user and group names take the form <tt class="constant">DOMAIN\user</tt> and
+ <tt class="constant">DOMAIN\group</tt>. This is necessary as it allows Winbind to determine
+ that redirection to a Domain Controller is wanted for a particular
+ lookup and which trusted domain is being referenced.</p><p>Additionally, Winbind provides an authentication service
+ that hooks into the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) system
+ to provide authentication via an NT domain to any PAM-enabled
+ applications. This capability solves the problem of synchronizing
+ passwords between systems since all passwords are stored in a single
+ location (on the Domain Controller).</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949633"></a>Target Uses</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>Winbind is targeted at organizations that have an
+ existing NT-based domain infrastructure into which they wish
+ to put UNIX workstations or servers. Winbind will allow these
+ organizations to deploy UNIX workstations without having to
+ maintain a separate account infrastructure. This greatly
+ simplifies the administrative overhead of deploying UNIX
+ workstations into an NT-based organization.</p><p>Another interesting way in which we expect Winbind to
+ be used is as a central part of UNIX-based appliances. Appliances
+ that provide file and print services to Microsoft-based networks
+ will be able to use Winbind to provide seamless integration of
+ the appliance into the domain.</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2949664"></a>How Winbind Works</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>The Winbind system is designed around a client/server
+ architecture. A long running <b class="command">winbindd</b> daemon
+ listens on a UNIX domain socket waiting for requests
+ to arrive. These requests are generated by the NSS and PAM
+ clients and is processed sequentially.</p><p>The technologies used to implement Winbind are described
+ in detail below.</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949693"></a>Microsoft Remote Procedure Calls</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>Over the last few years, efforts have been underway
+ by various Samba Team members to decode various aspects of
+ the Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (MSRPC) system. This
+ system is used for most network-related operations between
+ Windows NT machines including remote management, user authentication
+ and print spooling. Although initially this work was done
+ to aid the implementation of Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
+ functionality in Samba, it has also yielded a body of code that
+ can be used for other purposes.</p><p>Winbind uses various MSRPC calls to enumerate domain users
+ and groups and to obtain detailed information about individual
+ users or groups. Other MSRPC calls can be used to authenticate
+ NT domain users and to change user passwords. By directly querying
+ a Windows PDC for user and group information, Winbind maps the
+ NT account information onto UNIX user and group names.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949726"></a>Microsoft Active Directory Services</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
+ Since late 2001, Samba has gained the ability to
+ interact with Microsoft Windows 2000 using its &#8220;<span class="quote">Native
+ Mode</span>&#8221; protocols, rather than the NT4 RPC services.
+ Using LDAP and Kerberos, a Domain Member running
+ Winbind can enumerate users and groups in exactly the
+ same way as a Windows 200x client would, and in so doing
+ provide a much more efficient and effective Winbind implementation.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949752"></a>Name Service Switch</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>The Name Service Switch, or NSS, is a feature that is
+ present in many UNIX operating systems. It allows system
+ information such as hostnames, mail aliases and user information
+ to be resolved from different sources. For example, a standalone
+ UNIX workstation may resolve system information from a series of
+ flat files stored on the local filesystem. A networked workstation
+ may first attempt to resolve system information from local files,
+ and then consult an NIS database for user information or a DNS server
+ for hostname information.</p><p>The NSS application programming interface allows Winbind
+ to present itself as a source of system information when
+ resolving UNIX usernames and groups. Winbind uses this interface,
+ and information obtained from a Windows NT server using MSRPC
+ calls to provide a new source of account enumeration. Using standard
+ UNIX library calls, one can enumerate the users and groups on
+ a UNIX machine running Winbind and see all users and groups in
+ a NT domain plus any trusted domain as though they were local
+ users and groups.</p><p>The primary control file for NSS is
+ <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt>.
+ When a UNIX application makes a request to do a lookup,
+ the C library looks in <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt>
+ for a line that matches the service type being requested, for
+ example the &#8220;<span class="quote">passwd</span>&#8221; service type is used when user or group names
+ are looked up. This config line specifies which implementations
+ of that service should be tried and in what order. If the passwd
+ config line is:</p><pre class="screen">
+ passwd: files example
+ </pre><p>then the C library will first load a module called
+ <tt class="filename">/lib/libnss_files.so</tt> followed by
+ the module <tt class="filename">/lib/libnss_example.so</tt>. The
+ C library will dynamically load each of these modules in turn
+ and call resolver functions within the modules to try to resolve
+ the request. Once the request is resolved, the C library returns the
+ result to the application.</p><p>This NSS interface provides an easy way for Winbind
+ to hook into the operating system. All that needs to be done
+ is to put <tt class="filename">libnss_winbind.so</tt> in <tt class="filename">/lib/</tt>
+ then add &#8220;<span class="quote">winbind</span>&#8221; into <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> at
+ the appropriate place. The C library will then call Winbind to
+ resolve user and group names.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949887"></a>Pluggable Authentication Modules</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>Pluggable Authentication Modules, also known as PAM,
+ is a system for abstracting authentication and authorization
+ technologies. With a PAM module it is possible to specify different
+ authentication methods for different system applications without
+ having to recompile these applications. PAM is also useful
+ for implementing a particular policy for authorization. For example,
+ a system administrator may only allow console logins from users
+ stored in the local password file but only allow users resolved from
+ a NIS database to log in over the network.</p><p>Winbind uses the authentication management and password
+ management PAM interface to integrate Windows NT users into a
+ UNIX system. This allows Windows NT users to log in to a UNIX
+ machine and be authenticated against a suitable Primary Domain
+ Controller. These users can also change their passwords and have
+ this change take effect directly on the Primary Domain Controller.
+ </p><p>PAM is configured by providing control files in the directory
+ <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d/</tt> for each of the services that
+ require authentication. When an authentication request is made
+ by an application, the PAM code in the C library looks up this
+ control file to determine what modules to load to do the
+ authentication check and in what order. This interface makes adding
+ a new authentication service for Winbind very easy. All that needs
+ to be done is that the <tt class="filename">pam_winbind.so</tt> module
+ is copied to <tt class="filename">/lib/security/</tt> and the PAM
+ control files for relevant services are updated to allow
+ authentication via Winbind. See the PAM documentation
+ in <link linkend="pam"> for more information.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949965"></a>User and Group ID Allocation</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>When a user or group is created under Windows NT/200x
+ it is allocated a numerical relative identifier (RID). This is
+ slightly different from UNIX which has a range of numbers that are
+ used to identify users, and the same range in which to identify
+ groups. It is Winbind's job to convert RIDs to UNIX ID numbers and
+ vice versa. When Winbind is configured, it is given part of the UNIX
+ user ID space and a part of the UNIX group ID space in which to
+ store Windows NT users and groups. If a Windows NT user is
+ resolved for the first time, it is allocated the next UNIX ID from
+ the range. The same process applies for Windows NT groups. Over
+ time, Winbind will have mapped all Windows NT users and groups
+ to UNIX user IDs and group IDs.</p><p>The results of this mapping are stored persistently in
+ an ID mapping database held in a tdb database). This ensures that
+ RIDs are mapped to UNIX IDs in a consistent way.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949998"></a>Result Caching</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
+<a class="indexterm" name="id2950010"></a>
+ An active system can generate a lot of user and group
+ name lookups. To reduce the network cost of these lookups, Winbind
+ uses a caching scheme based on the SAM sequence number supplied
+ by NT Domain Controllers. User or group information returned
+ by a PDC is cached by Winbind along with a sequence number also
+ returned by the PDC. This sequence number is incremented by
+ Windows NT whenever any user or group information is modified. If
+ a cached entry has expired, the sequence number is requested from
+ the PDC and compared against the sequence number of the cached entry.
+ If the sequence numbers do not match, then the cached information
+ is discarded and up-to-date information is requested directly
+ from the PDC.</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2950035"></a>Installation and Configuration</h2></div></div><div></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2950042"></a>Introduction</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
+This section describes the procedures used to get Winbind up and

+If you have a Samba configuration file that you are currently using, <span class="emphasis"><em>BACK IT UP!</em></span>
+If your system already uses PAM, <span class="emphasis"><em>back up the <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d</tt> directory

+The latest version of Samba-3 includes a functioning winbindd daemon. Please refer to the <ulink url="http://samba.org/">main Samba Web page</ulink> or, better yet, your closest Samba mirror site for
+instructions on downloading the source code.
+</p><p>
+To allow domain users the ability to access Samba shares and files, as well as potentially other services
+provided by your Samba machine, PAM must be set up properly on your
+machine. In order to compile the Winbind modules, you should have at least the PAM development libraries installed
+on your system. Please refer the PAM web site <ulink url="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/">http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/</ulink>.

+Before starting, it is probably best to kill off all the Samba-related daemons running on your server.
+Kill off all <span class="application">smbd</span>, <span class="application">nmbd</span>, and <span class="application">winbindd</span> processes that may be running. To use PAM,
+make sure that you have the standard PAM package that supplies the <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d</tt>
+directory structure, including the PAM modules that are used by PAM-aware services, several pam libraries,
+and the <tt class="filename">/usr/doc</tt> and <tt class="filename">/usr/man</tt> entries for pam. Winbind built
+better in Samba if the pam-devel package is also installed. This package includes the header files
+needed to compile PAM-aware applications.
+</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2950252"></a>Configure <tt class="filename">nsswitch.conf</tt> and the Winbind Libraries on Linux and Solaris</h4></div></div><div></div></div><p>
+PAM is a standard component of most current generation UNIX/Linux systems. Unfortunately, few systems install
+the <tt class="filename">pam-devel</tt> libraries that are needed to build PAM-enabled Samba. Additionally, Samba-3
+may auto-install the Winbind files into their correct locations on your system, so before you get too far down
+the track be sure to check if the following configuration is really
+necessary. You may only need to configure
+<tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt>.
+</p><p>
+The libraries needed to run the <span class="application">winbindd</span> daemon through nsswitch need to be copied to their proper locations:
+</p><p>
+</p><pre class="screen">
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>cp ../samba/source/nsswitch/libnss_winbind.so /lib</tt></b>
+</pre><p>
+</p><p>
+I also found it necessary to make the following symbolic link:
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt> <b class="userinput"><tt>ln -s /lib/libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2</tt></b>
+</p><p>And, in the case of Sun Solaris:</p><pre class="screen">
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so.1</tt></b>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so /usr/lib/nss_winbind.so.1</tt></b>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so /usr/lib/nss_winbind.so.2</tt></b>
+</pre><p>
+Now, as root you need to edit <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> to
+allow user and group entries to be visible from the <span class="application">winbindd</span>
+daemon. My <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> file look like
+this after editing:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+ passwd: files winbind
+ shadow: files
+ group: files winbind
+</pre><p>
+The libraries needed by the <b class="command">winbindd</b> daemon will be automatically
+entered into the <b class="command">ldconfig</b> cache the next time
+your system reboots, but it is faster (and you do not need to reboot) if you do it manually:
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/sbin/ldconfig -v | grep winbind</tt></b>
+</p><p>
+This makes <tt class="filename">libnss_winbind</tt> available to winbindd

+and the AIX naming convention would indicate that it should be named WINBIND. A stanza like the following:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+WINBIND:
+ program = /usr/lib/security/WINBIND
+ options = authonly
+</pre><p>
+can then be added to <tt class="filename">/usr/lib/security/methods.cfg</tt>. This module only supports
+identification, but there have been success reports using the standard Winbind PAM module for
+authentication. Use caution configuring loadable authentication
+modules since you can make
+it impossible to logon to the system. More information about the AIX authentication module API can
+be found at &#8220;<span class="quote">Kernel Extensions and Device Support Programming Concepts for AIX</span>&#8221;<ulink url="http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/kernextc/sec_load_mod.htm">

+Eventually, you will want to modify your Samba startup script to
+automatically invoke the winbindd daemon when the other parts of
+Samba start, but it is possible to test out just the Winbind
+portion first. To start up Winbind services, enter the following
+command as root:
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/usr/local/samba/bin/winbindd</tt></b>
+</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
+The above assumes that Samba has been installed in the <tt class="filename">/usr/local/samba</tt>
+directory tree. You may need to search for the location of Samba files if this is not the
+location of <b class="command">winbindd</b> on your system.
+</p></div><p>
+Winbindd can now also run in &#8220;<span class="quote">dual daemon modei</span>&#8221;. This will make it
+run as two processes. The first will answer all requests from the cache,
+thus making responses to clients faster. The other will
+update the cache for the query that the first has just responded.
+The advantage of this is that responses stay accurate and are faster.
+You can enable dual daemon mode by adding <tt class="option">-B</tt> to the commandline:
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/usr/local/samba/bin/winbindd -B</tt></b>
+</p><p>
+I'm always paranoid and like to make sure the daemon is really running.
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>ps -ae | grep winbindd</tt></b>
+</p><p>
+This command should produce output like this, if the daemon is running you would expect
+to see a report something like this:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+3025 ? 00:00:00 winbindd
+</pre><p>
+Now, for the real test, try to get some information about the users on your PDC:
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -u</tt></b>
+</p><p>
+This should echo back a list of users on your Windows users on
+your PDC. For example, I get the following response:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+ CEO+Administrator
+ CEO+burdell
+ CEO+Guest
+ CEO+jt-ad
+ CEO+krbtgt
+ CEO+TsInternetUser
+</pre><p>
+Obviously, I have named my domain &#8220;<span class="quote">CEO</span>&#8221; and my <a class="indexterm" name="id2950988"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>winbind separator</tt></i> is &#8220;<span class="quote">+</span>&#8221;.
+</p><p>
+You can do the same sort of thing to get group information from the PDC:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -g</tt></b>
+ CEO+Domain Admins
+ CEO+Domain Users
+ CEO+Domain Guests
+ CEO+Domain Computers
+ CEO+Domain Controllers
+ CEO+Cert Publishers
+ CEO+Schema Admins
+ CEO+Enterprise Admins
+ CEO+Group Policy Creator Owners
+</pre><p>
+The function <b class="command">getent</b> can now be used to get unified
+lists of both local and PDC users and groups. Try the following command:
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>getent passwd</tt></b>
+</p><p>
+You should get a list that looks like your <tt class="filename">/etc/passwd</tt>
+list followed by the domain users with their new UIDs, GIDs, home
+directories and default shells.
+</p><p>
+The same thing can be done for groups with the command:
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>getent group</tt></b>

+If you have made it this far, you know that <b class="command">winbindd</b> and Samba are working
+together. If you want to use Winbind to provide authentication for other
+services, keep reading. The PAM configuration files need to be altered in
+this step. (Did you remember to make backups of your original
+<tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d</tt> files? If not, do it now.)
+</p><p>
+You will need a PAM module to use winbindd with these other services. This
+module will be compiled in the <tt class="filename">../source/nsswitch</tt> directory
+by invoking the command:
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>make nsswitch/pam_winbind.so</tt></b>
+</p><p>
+from the <tt class="filename">../source</tt> directory. The
+<tt class="filename">pam_winbind.so</tt> file should be copied to the location of
+your other PAM security modules. On my RedHat system, this was the
+<tt class="filename">/lib/security</tt> directory. On Solaris, the PAM security
+modules reside in <tt class="filename">/usr/lib/security</tt>.
+</p><p>
+<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>cp ../samba/source/nsswitch/pam_winbind.so /lib/security</tt></b>
+</p><div class="sect4" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h5 class="title"><a name="id2951551"></a>Linux/FreeBSD-specific PAM configuration</h5></div></div><div></div></div><p>
+The <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d/samba</tt> file does not need to be changed. I
+just left this file as it was:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+ auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
+ account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
+</pre><p>
+The other services that I modified to allow the use of Winbind
+as an authentication service were the normal login on the console (or a terminal
+session), telnet logins, and ftp service. In order to enable these
+services, you may first need to change the entries in
+<tt class="filename">/etc/xinetd.d</tt> (or <tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf</tt>).
+Red Hat Linux 7.1 and later uses the new xinetd.d structure, in this case you need
+to change the lines in <tt class="filename">/etc/xinetd.d/telnet</tt>
+and <tt class="filename">/etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftp</tt> from
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+ enable = no
+</pre><p>
+to:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+ enable = yes
+</pre><p>
+For ftp services to work properly, you will also need to either
+have individual directories for the domain users already present on
+the server, or change the home directory template to a general
+directory for all domain users. These can be easily set using
+the <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> global entry
+<a class="indexterm" name="id2951653"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>template homedir</tt></i>.
+</p><p>
+The <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d/ftp</tt> file can be changed
+to allow Winbind ftp access in a manner similar to the
+samba file. My <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d/ftp</tt> file was
+changed to look like this:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+auth required /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny \

+account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
+account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
+session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
+</pre><p>
+The <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d/login</tt> file can be changed nearly the
+same way. It now looks like this:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
+auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
+auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_UNIX.so use_first_pass

+</pre><p>
+In this case, I added the </p><pre class="programlisting">auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so</pre><p>
