Samba auth against windows domain: Is /etc/nsswitch.conf required?

  • 772

When I use samba to authenticate users against an existing windows domain controller, do I have to use winbind and add winbind to /etc/nsswitch.conf?

Is there a way to do this without having to use /etc/nsswitch.conf? I simply want to auth against a windows server, nothing else :-)

The main thing I want to avoid is having all domain users/groups show up in getent passwd or getent group.

authentication samba nsswitch.conf
