[Samba] Why do Interdomain trusts try to use kerberos - updated
On my test Samba PDC, I updated the krb5.conf file to add realm info for the Windows 2008. This seems to have resolved my "wbinfo" issue. "getent passwd" is still not working (I did update nsswitch.conf) but I suspect this is because of an idmap allocation issue. The syntax for idmap allocation in smb.conf see... 2 May 2010 14:14

[Samba] Forests, Domain Trusts, idmap (an idea for S4)
Hello all, I have largely only used samba in my home. I have several large projects I see coming for me that require domain trusts, forests and Samba 4.
