I want to setup a samba server that offers shares. The only thing it should do is:



  1. Authenticate access to the shares against an existing windows domain controller.

The things I want to avoid is:



  1. Having to add winbind to /etc/nsswitch.conf

  2. Do not have the AD users on my local systems (getent passwd should not show the AD users).

I really only want to have the authentication parsed of to the windows server itself.



Is that possible?

          Join the Linux server to the domain using realmd/sssd. It will automatically configure nsswitch, pam and whatever is necessary.
          Then restrict the local (ssh) login to deny domain users from logging in to your Linux server.



          But if you really don't want getent to show the users, maybe you can use ldap instead of sssd.
