Hi @ all,

I have too many problems to join my OpenSuSE 11.2 with Samba 3.5.4 in a Windows 2008 Active directory Forest (MYDOMAIN.LOCAL).

I have updated Samba to 3.5.4 after read that default 11.2 version have too many bugs. Now, when I try to join the Domain MYDOMAIN.LOCAL via yast i have only an undebuggable error “unknown error”. For yast, my Suse is joined but i’m unable to authenticate, i can’t see “MYDOMAIN.LOCAL” at KDM login and if i try to lookup forest i have this error:

wbinfo -u
Error looking up domain users

but i’m able to retrive ticket via kinit

# kinit Administrator
Password for Administrator@MYDOMAIN.LOCAL: 
# klist 
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0
Default principal: Administrator@MYDOMAIN.LOCAL

Valid starting     Expires            Service principal
07/05/10 17:43:15  07/06/10 03:43:28  rbtgt/MYDOMAIN.LOCAL@MYDOMAIN.LOCAL
	renew until 07/06/10 17:43:15

Can you help me? I have read after googling, that this version have others problem (I’m very lucky!) but no one explain how to solve it.

have you a samba version tested against Active Directory 2008? can you link me the repository or help me to solve this?

HELP ME!!! :’( Many thanks!!! :slight_smile:
