Hello, I'm new to samba. Trying to get it running on Solaris on Intel using NIS+. I configured it with the --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. I don't seem to be able to get authentication to work. I've created the smbpasswd file from my nis+ tables, set the perms per the docs (encryption.txt to name one) and when I try to run smbpasswd to set a password for

Thanks for the replies.... I am stuck on the second step of your list... I do not have a smbpasswd file, so I am not sure how I can create on... also, when I run smbpasswd (the executable) as root, I get the

I'm a little less new to samba now - but having a heck of a time getting authentication to work. I'm running NIS+, configured samba with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. Does anyone have some good nis/samba references? I'm striking out. The smbpasswd file *does* have to become smbpasswd.org_dir for samba to work. I first created the smbpasswd file using

Hi, I saw a similar question to this one in the samba list archives, but there was no answer so I'm going to ask it again. I'm running Samba 2.0.5a on Solaris 2.6 using NIS+, I've compiled it with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home. Samba is currently running using Plain Text passwords accessing the NIS+ database and I have "update encrypted = Yes" set so that the current

Hi all, I'm a little confused over what exactly the NISPLUS and NISPLUS_HOME support options actually mean. I'm hoping somebody can shed a little light on this. Our main samba server is a Solaris 2.7 machine (using NIS+ for passwords, etc, etc.) running samba 2.0.5a. I have recently been investigating a problem where, after a reboot of the server, various 3rd party products (POP, IMAP,

Is there a way to get Samba to validate users against the NIS (not NIS+) database. I've tried compiling with --with-nis but when I try to access a share I get this message in the samba log: [2002/11/26 16:25:08, 0] passdb/pdb_nisplus.c:make_sam_from_nisresult(460) NIS+ lookup failure: NIS+ service is unavailable or not installed It appears that it is still using NIS+ functions. System is

Hi everyone, Let me briefly describe my setup. I work at a small university and we are setting up 3 labs. 2 are filled with Ultra Sparc 5's, and the 3rd will be filled with PCs running NT4 workstation. We have an Enterprise Server 3500 running NIS+ to authenticate the Unix labs (or rather we will, once I get it working), and I'd like to set up Samba to authenticate the NT labs using

Hi all, using samba 2.2.5; security=server connecting as user1 (user logged in on PC) works (12:28:55), disconnecting and connecting as another user2 (not the user logged in on PC) works too (12:30:22), but disconnecting and connecting again as user1 (user logged in on PC) fails (12:34:29) as well as user2 (12:38:19). It seems it works only once and never again after one time logged in as user2 ?

How can I tell if I am using NIS+? I would like the data to be encrypted on the lan. -Jason -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Sr. Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

We are currently running Samba in a security=share mode, I would like to switch this to have samba be a PDC and use domain authentication. Anyone out there combined the following successfully? Linux Redhat 7.x NIS master and PDC, using NIS as authentication for PDC/Windows? I have seen several things on just having an samba PDC but I would like to keep using our NIS as it's used for many

Hi all, I know this has probably been spoke about before, but I'm looking for some documentation or other info on setting up NIS+ with samba.... I currently have samba running on the NIS+ master, but am having trouble setting up authentication again the NIS+ passwd tables. I'm also not exactly sure where smbpasswd comes into play with NIS+ and if I actually need to run that everytime I

We have started to upgrade or Unix servers from Samba 2.0.7 to Samba 2.2.5. I did one machine as test and all worked fine. Today I tried adding two more today and both come up with the "Incorrect password or unknown username" box in Windows Explorer. All the Unix servers are running Solaris 7. I did the make on an NFS file system once and then ran 'make install' on each

Hi, I have successfully installed Samba on a Solaris2.7 system and created the smbpasswd file using mksmbpasswd.sh Now I want to set passwords for all users. But when I try to run "smbpasswd" or "smbpasswd username" as root the following error message occurs: -------------- make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file... is NIS+ installed?

Hi, The current method of hard coding at compile time which password database Samba is to use is a little inconvenient. The same binaries cannot be used for files/NIS+/LDAP. An extra samba.conf option eg. database files nis+ ldap could be used to give the databases allowed and the preferred search order. If the default was: database files then the compile options with_nisplus and with _ldap

Hello, I have 20 Solaris 2.6-servers with NIS+ in different cities and countries and a lot of NT4 servers in different domains and I use samba with nis+ support on the Solaris-enviroment to let the NT-users access their unix-home-directories. The NT-clients has to send their passwords in "clear-text" to access their directories. Their NT-username is the same as their Unix-username (the

I just installed Samba for the first time. Installed and setup like a dream. Unfortunately, I can't login to save my life. The server appears in the Net. Neighborhood, but when I double-click to login, the login window give the following message: Incorrect password or unknown username for \\SERVERNAME Entering a username and password (from /etc/passwd) returns: \\SERVERNAME is not

We just installed samba 2.0.3 and configured with swat. It seems great, but after try to use smbpasswd we get the following error: inis-11# smbpasswd -a frank New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file... is NIS+ installed?

Hi, I am running samba on linux and solaris 2.6. I have no problem making encrypted passwords work on linux meaning I have Windows 98 and NT users able to map a drive to their home directories on the samba server. I am having problems doing the same thing on solaris 2.6. I have run the mksmbpasswd.sh and the smbpasswd file got created. I have added the following lines to my smb.conf file:
