Samba Domain Model
Chapter 11 201
• security: When the HP CIFS Server joins a domain as a member,
you must set this parameter to domain.
• WINs Server: If you attempt to use the PDC as the Wins server, set
this parameter to the PDC’s machine name.
• password server: This parameter defines the NetBIOS names of
the PDC and BDC machines that perform the user name
authentication and validation.
A Sample /etc/nsswich.ldap File
When you set up the PDC, BDC and member servers using the LDAP
backend support, you need to configure the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to
restrieve your user account information from Netscape Directory
Server.You can save a copy of the /etc/nsswitch conf file and edit the
original to specify the LDAP name service and other name services that
you want to use. You may just copy /etc/nsswitch.ldap to
/etc/nsswitch.conf.
The following is a sample /etc/nsswitch.ldap used in the sample
Samba Domain Model shown in the Figure 11-5:
# /etc/nsswitch.ldap #
# You can copy this sample file to /etc/nsswitch.conf. #
# This sample file uses Lightweigh Directory Access #
# Protocol(LDAP) in conjunction with dns and files. #
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=return] files ldap
networks: files ldap
protocols: files ldap
rpc: files ldap
publickey: files
netgroup: files ldap
automount: files
aliases: files
services: files ldap
