I'm trying to link a debian server authentication to active directory. I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.debian.org/Authenticating_Linux_With_Active_Directory but I'm stuck on the 

getent passwd

Because this doesn't list all AD users but only locals. This is my nsswitch.conf:

passwd:         files winbind
group:          files winbind
shadow:         files winbind

And I'm sure it is well connected to AD becuse this:

wbinfo -u

Lists all AD users. What have I missed?

If you are not running getent passwd as root, this is expected behaviour in most cases as as a standard user should not get access to the user list. Knowing the username of a user you could check via 

$ getent passwd <username>

too. This should be possible for root and non-root users.

If this does not work, you should take a look at the logs:

  • /var/log/krb5.log
  • /var/log/auth.log
  • /var/log/samba/*
