nsswitch.conf

Stlouis1Dec 5 2012 — edited Dec 8 2012
Hi everyone,

I'm going to start by mentioning that I'm new to solaris. I've mostly been an archlinux user thus far. Now I've built a new fileserver and decided to run solaris because I felt that ZFS had a lot to offer, and I'm playing with the idea of moving my webserver into a zone on this new box in order to take the dedicated system offline as it's underutilized.

Now the main things I need so far are kerberos for active directory integration, and smb for file sharing, this seems fairly simple to me, and nothing I haven't done on a typical Linux system

but I'm having problems. getting things going has not been as painless as I expected, I've hit a learning curve so to speak and I'm having a few issues.

I'm going to start with winbind.

How do I configure the nsswitch.conf so that it doesn't get reset after I reboot the system?

everytime I boot, I have to reconfigure it, and restart winbind in order to get anything listed with getent

the other thing there, is when I run getent passwd, I see my AD users listed. but when I run getent group, I only see the local groups, nothing from AD appears
