when you run
testparm -vs 2>&1 | grep template

you'll notice something like:
template homedir = /home/%D/%U
template shell = /bin/false

Both are [global] settings in smb.conf - i.e. you can set
template shell = /bin/bash

See also 'man smb.conf'.
(Also read 'man idmap_ad' for special cases with that idmap backend.)

Cheers, Günter

Thank you for the information, the template shell and templete homedir
work fine for new users. However how can I set them for already
created users?

winbindd is always showing a lot of warnings so i am not complete sure
everything is correct, but samba seems functional and preforming correct.

I always expected usermod should just work but as showed in the
previous mail this is failing.

Thanks in advance,

With kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
