The NSS interface provides an easy way for Winbind to hook into the operating system. All that needs to be done is to link the libnss_winbind.so using the following commands: {{{ #sudo apt-get install libnss-winbind }}} Then add “winbind” into /etc/nsswitch.conf at the appropriate place. {{{ # sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf }}} The entries you need to make are: {{{ passwd: files winbind group: files winbind hosts: files dns wins }}}
