[ILUG] Samba and Active Directory Integration

[ILUG] Samba and Active Directory Integration

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with Samba and Active directory authentication and 
hopefully someone might spot something that I'm doing wrong.

I have two Linux servers here one running Ubuntu 5.10 and the other 
CentOS 4.1. I'm using both of these servers in a test environment in the 
hopes of integrating our production servers into our Active Directory. 
All our production servers are running CentOS.

I have successfully configured the Ubuntu machine to authenticate using 
AD and it was pretty simple and straight forward but CentOS is proving 
to be a different beast! Following various howto's and much googling I 
seem to have hit a brick wall. I ihave sucessfully managed to add the 
CentOS machine to the AD but it will not authenticate from it and it 
seems that it doesn't even recognise the username either. If I do a 
wbinfo -n Administrator I can view the SID of that user. I have a 
niggling feeling that it might be down to PAM but again I'm not too sure.

Rather than append the config files to this mail I have posted the 
working Ubuntu configs here:

And the non working CentOS one here:

Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Robert
