How to set up Active Directory
Authored by: djlc on Nov 21, '03 03:58:09PM

Your forward zone and reverse zones have to be corresponding. In other words, make sure the reverse zone has pointers for all the hosts in the forward zone. and then feel free to add any other pointers in the reverse zone.
i'm having a problem myself though. i get my powerbook to bind, and if i use some terminal commands, i can call up the list of domain users and groups, but none of them are authenticating on the powerbook. do i need to disable smb services? the reason i ask is because i tried admitmac out and it made me disable smb service before i could even install it.

How to set up Active Directory
Authored by: Schwie on Dec 12, '03 05:15:14PM
I took a peek in my localhost.zone file and found the following:
$TTL    86400
$ORIGIN localhost.
@                       1D IN SOA       @ root (
                                        42              ; serial (d. adams)
                                        3H              ; refresh
                                        15M             ; retry
                                        1W              ; expiry
                                        1D )            ; minimum

                        1D IN NS        @
                        1D IN A         127.0.0.1

in my named.local file, I found:
$TTL    86400
@       IN      SOA     localhost. root.localhost.  (
                                      1997022700 ; Serial
                                      28800      ; Refresh
                                      14400      ; Retry
                                      3600000    ; Expire
                                      86400 )    ; Minimum
              IN      NS      localhost.

1       IN      PTR     localhost.

I'm not really sure what you want me to add here... Should I be adding entries for the WIN Servers here, and pointers to them? I dont' know...

Was "vtzeb" able to help you with the authentication problems? I'm sure I'll be stumbling upon that, next....
