Response from Nicolas Schmitz: You should have winbind offline logon = yes in your /etc/samba/lwiauthd.conf
With that, you can login with your domain credential, even when your
laptop is not on your corporate network. It works for me.
***My Current Response: windbind offline logon = yes was already marked in /etc/samba/lwiauthd.conf
It actually doesn't allow me to use my domain credentials username at MSD.DOMAIN when I am outside the domain at home. It tells me it is the wrong username or password and reminds me about capitalization. However, my regular (machine only) username and password work but throw a plain old "error" box that lets me pass and continue working.
2) Can I setup my users, both my domain user and my non-domain user

Response from Nicolas Schmitz: You can add your MSD/Username to /etc/sudoers, and only use this one
(this will make your msd/username admin of the box).
I think it's a bad idea to have two different account with the same login.
***My Current Response: I have opened this with the command sudo vi /etc/sudoers in a terminal. It shows this:
# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
Defaults env_reset
# Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to not need a password
# %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
Type :quit<Enter> to exit Vim
I'm not sure where to put the new domain username that should be in admin group. I tried to use the Users and Groups GUI in administration but it wouldn't take the punctuation of MSD/username
Where do I put it and how do I format this? I couldn't find a good manual for this. I am a bit of a Noob to linux.
Thanks for your help.

The Likewise Open tool seems to work nicely to join me to my AD domain.
I work in an entirely Microsoft/Windows environment and run Ubuntu 8.04
on a dual boot laptop. I try not to use the Windows side.
I work a few hours from home outside of our domain every day and then
come into work and work within the domain. In Windows I just leave the
machine joined to the domain and it logs in fine from home with my usual
domain credentials but tells me that it can't access some servers
(obviously).
In Ubuntu I have to do the following:
1. Login as username and then password (same as I would use at
home)
2. Open LOpen GUI and Join the Domain (MSD.DOMAIN)
3. Immediately after joining, I have to logout of computer and log
back in as username at MSD.DOMAIN
4. It then functions as a normal part of the domain.
5. Before leaving in the afternoon I have to use LOpen GUI to leave
the domain and then shut down the computer. If I don't do this
then it throws an error on me when logging in at home.
6. At home I work with my regular username and password (without
the @MSD.DOMAIN)
I, basically, have 2 questions:
1. Can I set this up so that I can just leave it joined to the
domain and always connect with my domain credentials, even when
I am outside the domain? That would prevent all these crazy
steps everyday to make things work right both at home and at
school.
2. Can I setup my users, both my domain user and my non-domain user
to be the same account with the same file locations, rights,
etc? I think I should be able to do this in users and groups by
adding a user. The only current user in the Users and Groups is
my username, which has admin rights. Should I set up a new user
with admin/root rights that has the username MSD/username ? I'm
afraid I'll screw something up by doing this.

Subject: [Likewise-open-discuss] RC script name under solaris
Hi, I just want to signal a detail.
Under Solaris, three rc scripts are installed in the /etc/rc2.d directory.
One of them is : S9centeris.rpcd
The usual solaris naming pattern should be : S09centeris.rpcd
Best regards
