[ILUG] [FIXED] Samba and Active Directory

[Robert Sweetnam]

Hi all,

I managed to resolve the problems I was having with active directory and 
it turns out the problem was somthing completely stupid on my own 
behalf. Of course if I bothered to have a look at the logfiles then I 
would have noticed it an awful lot sooner.

The problem was that the time on the test server was not within 5 
minutes of the time on the directory server which meant that the 
kerberos tickets could not be updated. The simple resolution is to 
ensure that if you are running any Samba servers using active directory 
for authentication then you should use ntp on them to synchronise their 
time with the active directory controller.

Robert
