Samba Winbind not working in Debian 8

Question

I am setting up a new samba environment based on Debian Jessie. Installation of PDC was succesfully and Windows clients were able to join. Have a problem at joining the Linux clients.

I was following the tutorial SAMBA Share with Active Directory Login but could not complete. I fail at "chgrp -R "Domain Users" /share, because he will not find the group "chgrp: invalid group: ???domain users???" wbinfo -u is WORKING getent passwd is WORKING and shows domain accounts BUT getent passwd (DOMAINUSER) will not show up anything.

I will paste my smb.conf, nsswitch.conf and krb5.conf, please help me :(

any ideas? Do you need more log files?

Answer 1

according to your error message, there may not be a group "Domain Users" on your system, do a

$ grep "Domain Users" /etc/group

possibly you need to do:

# addgroup "Domain Users" (as root)

Answer 2

Check out the setup guide at http://thepullen.net/wp/2013/03/using-winbind-to-resolve-active-directory-accounts-in-debian/. Also make sure libnss-winbind is installed.

You can test winbind itself with 'wbinfo -u' (should return a huge list of all your domain users).

the command 'id xxxx' will try to find info about just user xxx using the system/nsswitch.conf configuration. Between those you should be able to figure out where the problem is.
