Ldap Vs. Winbindd

I’ll make this post short and sweet.  Go LDAP!  I am not liking a lot of things about running windbind/kerberos.  For one, its ugly!

User accounts look like this:

DOMAIN+bob

I added a default domain to my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

[code] winbind use default domain = true [/code]

Now user accounts look like this:

bob

Okay that is nice, but what about UID/GID?

id bsus

uid=10173(bsus) gid=10000(domain users) groups=10000(domain users),10003,10004,10001(domain admins),10006(BUILTIN+users),10005(BUILTIN+administrators)

I’m starting to dislike this, its messy.  With LDAP+AD it just feels smoother.  More to come…Gotta jet to a meeting.
