8.04 - likewise open vs kerberos, samba, and winbind

[list serv]

I had likewise open authenticating, configured, and working in under
10minutes. On a fresh install everything is quite smooth. I haven't noticed
any issues as of yet, been running on it for 2 weeks. I just setup bookmarks
for my shared folders and have them connect automatically upon login. One
thing to note, I read it somewhere but set a static IP before installing
likewise, seems to go smoother.

Here is what I did:
   1. sudo apt-get update
   2. sudo apt-get install likewise-open
   3. sudo domainjoin-cli join fqdn.of.your.domain Administrator
   4. sudo update-rc.d likewise-open defaults
   5. sudo /etc/init.d/likewise-open start
   6. sudo visudo
   7. %DOMAIN.COM\\DNSADMINS -- add AD group to sudoers list, for admin. I
used the DnsAdmins group. ALL=(ALL) ALL
   8. sudo nano -w /etc/samba/lwiauthd.conf
   9. add: winbind use default domain = yes (users can now login with their
username, not having to put domain\username to login)
