For whatever reason, the ebuild for samba will not compile with support for ADS if you are on AMD 64. I changed the ebuild myself and emerged it again, and my amd64 machine is happily talking to Active Directory, so I can confirm for certain that it works ok on AMD64 from what I have seen. -DH Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge samba 2. wait 3. try and use ads :) Actual Results: well, it didn't work...
Did you by chance install mit-krb5 and ldap. You need both for ADS to work. I did find that even if you did compile ads support, it doesn't work even on non AMD64 machines.
Yes, of course. I have it up and running on a 64 and 32 system, both done the same way. The problem is strictly with the ebuild itself, there is nothing wrong with samba or ldap or mit-krb5. If you change the ebuild to include ADS on AMD64 architecture, it will install it just fine. And I think you are mistaken about ADS support not working on anything, I have it working fine on 2 different machines, and I didnt even change the ebuild on the 32bit system. -DH

Actually, I'm not mistaken. My problem is slightly different. See my duplicate bug (64877) on my particular problem. I wrote the doc on the forums and Gentoo-Wiki on how to do it. We are talking about 3.0.7, right (I want to make sure we're on the same page)? It worked fine for everything so far, but 3.0.7. I wrote the how-to on version 3.0.5 and updated it on 3.0.6. It's not a major priority for me now, because I have other ways of getting my files within my network, but it definitely does not work. I'll try it again when I'm off from work this weekend. The problem is that it's looking for a directory that does not exist. You'll see it in my bug report.
Your problem doesn't appear to be related to mine. I am using Samba 3.0.7 and both my machines are connecting to active directory. I used the same net syntax to join my computers as you have, and neither of them complained. My user accounts are being listed from the domain and I can mount shares without any problem. The bug I have posted is strictly an ebuild bug. -DH
ads on amd64 in 3.0.7-r1
ebuild looks good, but I don't have time to try it. I'll take your word for it :) -DH
I figured out my problem, it was a config error on my part, my bad.
