Before you attempt to join an Active Directory domain, make sure the /etc/nsswitch.conf
file contains the following line:
hosts: files dns
The hosts
line can contain additional information, but it must include the dns
entry, and it is recommended that the dns
entry appear after thefiles
entry.
Computers running Solaris, in particular, may not contain this line in nsswitch.conf
until you add it.
When you use Likewise with Multicast DNS 4 (mDNS4) and have a domain in your environment that ends in .local
, you must place the dns
entry before the mdns4_minimal
entry and before the mdns4
entry:
hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4
The default setting for many Linux systems is to list the mdns4
entries before the dns
entry -- a configuration that leaves Likewise unable to find the domain.
Before you attempt to join an Active Directory domain, make sure that /etc/resolv.conf
on your Linux, Unix, or Mac client includes a DNS server that can resolve SRV records for your domain.
Example:
[root@rhel5d Desktop]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search likewisedemo.com
nameserver 192.168.100.132
For more information on resolv.conf
, see your operating system's man page.
Configure FW:
If you are using local firewall settings, such as iptables
, on a computer running the Likewise agent, make sure the following ports are open for outbound traffic.
Note: The Likewise agent is a client only; it does not listen on any ports.
Port | Protocol | Use |
53 | UDP/ TCP | DNS |
88 | UDP/TCP | Kerberos 5 |
123 | UDP | NTP |
137 | UDP | NetBIOS Name Service |
139 | TCP | NetBIOS Session (SMB) |
389 | UDP/TCP | LDAP |
445 | TCP | SMB over TCP |
464 | UDP/TCP | Machine password changes (typically after 30 days) |
3268 | TCP | Global Catalog search |
