Samba troubles

My school uses Samba on unix servers to share files to Windows users, but I'm not quite sure how to get Samba on my Gentoo box to connect to their servers. When I scan using Gnomba it finds a couple of servers but they appear to just be other users in my reshall.

There is a set-up guide for Windows, but I'm not experienced enough with networking to be able to figure out how to make the same steps on Linux.

It says I have to enable DNS, and specify the host, domain, dns server search order, and the domain suffix search order.

Do I have to run a special program to do this? If so what would that program be. Or what config changes do I have to make.

Secondly,the server requires Samba with Kerberos authentication. Does Samba use Kerberos automatically, or can I set this somehow?

try:

mount -t smbfs -o username=<username>,workgroup=<domainname>
//device/share /mnt/<mnt point>

smbclient -L ifsviasamba this will list shares on the server. If it gives a conection error maybe the problem is a wrong server name.

It's most certainly GNU/Linux, not Linux. Read more at

Well, I tried smbclient -L ifsviasamba and it gave me a connection error. I double checked the server name with the university's intstructions, but it's right. the documentation is rather old though, so it could be that I'm just out of luck since I don't know what the new name is or something like that. If anyone has knows a lot about Samba and thinks they can figure it out based on the documentaiton page it is here.[/url]

It appears to me that what you need is to configure your samba for kerberos authentication.

I've been trying to install Samba with kerberos five by changing the config line in the ebuild but it just does not want to do it. I have krb5 emerged but even when I had the line --with-krb5=/usr or --with-krb5=/usr/bin or --with-krb5=/usr/lib or --with-krb5=/ (those are the only directories kerberos put files in) it still comes up no in ./configure when it says checking for whether or not to use Kerberos 5.

Anyone know how I can get Samba to configure correctly to use kerberos?

Ok, well.. still working on this. I got samba to install with krb5 support (according to the configure step) and I can successfully get a kerberos ticket from my realm using kinit, but when I try to mount a drive using mount or connect using smbclient it does not use my kerberos ticket and if I try to enter my password without a ticket it says
