cifs.upcall

mount.cifs nightmares!

OK, create a user for cifs, e.g. cifsuser and use ktutil to stick his key into  /etc/cifs.keytab

Make sure that /etc/requestkey.conf has this line:

create cifs.spnego * * /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall -d /etc/cifs.keytab %k

(notice, there's no -c which tells mount to look for a key beginning with cifs/)

the -d /etc/cifs.keytab bit is if you applied the patch to cifs-utils which Jeff Layton sent me. I asked if we could have a switch to choose another keytab other than /etc/krb5.keytab. And he just dd it:) If not, stick cifsuser in /etc/krb5.conf and miss off the -d /etc/cifs.keytab

Provisioning Samba 4.0.6 with BIND9_DLZ

There's a problem provisioning or samba_upgradedns-ing on openSUSE 64bit.

So:
ln -s /usr/bin/tdbbackup /usr/lib/mit/sbin
