similar to: Sync unix and samba passwords

Hi, Everything I can find about using the ldapsam backend seems to imply that samba will be used as a domain controller. Is it possible to use ldapsam as the backend and have just a user level security workgroup? Thanks. Craig

Hi, I compiled Dovecot and Mysql on two different servers each with the same options. Dovecot connects successfully on Server B. Server A has this error in Dovecot trying to connect to Mysql: dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connect failed to /tmp/mysql.sock (exim_db): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - waiting for 5 seconds before Passwords

I need to let my users change their password using PAM to preserve the existing ldap authentication system. How can I force pam to sync the smb password to the unix one. I am running Fedora 7 package on an x86-64 system. I have smb working via ldap and sambasam.schema (v3.0.24) I have unix password sync = yes but it should not come into play as I never plan to reset passwords via smbd. In

Hi ! I'm in trouble... I'm in the way of building a FreeBSD Samba server with LDAP support. So far, everything works great except password synchronization. It is the only thing I need left to do before my server goes into production, so I'm really looking for help. What I need is to be able to synchronize the Windows passwords with the Unix passwords. All passwords are stored in

Hi, I'm new to Samba so I apologize if this topic has been covered in the past. I want to sync my UNIX users from /etc/shadow to my Samba users in /etc/samba/smbpasswd How can I do this automatically? Thanks!

Hi Everybody, maybe we are just too stupid, but for me it seems that there is some problem with holding passwords completely sync between *NIX-world and WIN-world when I use LDAP & Samba. If a user changes a password under Windows, with "passwd chat" the *NIX-Password (attribute: userPassword) can be changend very well besides the both Samba-LDAP-attributes lmPassword and

Hello, I would like to configure PAM to sync Unix passwords to Samba passwords. When I add a new Unix user or change an existing Unix user's password, I want the same password to be stored in /etc/smbpasswd. I'm trying to follow these instructions: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/pam.html#id2606200 It sounds like this is what I want to do: "A sample

Hello all. First, a little background... I recently downloaded samba-*-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk , installed on Mandrake 8.2 and got everything working fine. I have LDAP installed for "single sign-on" support. I can use LDAP to authenticate other Linux boxes, and have Samba as a PDC for some Win2000 boxes - all working fine. Linux users are the same as PDC users, except for their passwords

Hello, (I'm sorry for my previous message with the wrong subject; I'll just do it over again) I have a Solaris 10 machine (SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-18 sun4u sparc) installed with Samba Version 3.0.23a. Samba has been compiled from source with PAM modules. The modules 'pam_smbpass.so' and 'pam_winbind.so' reside at: /usr/local/samba/lib/security smb.conf is located at

I can not get password sync to work with ldap and samba 3.0 beta 1. I'm not sure if I have screwed something up or if it is a bug. I'm currently using: openldap = 2.0.27 samba = 3.0 beta1 nss_ldap = 207 My setup is as follows sorry if it is too much info my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = AEROSPACE server string = AE-ORVILLE netbios name = AE-ORVILLE name resolve order

I have searched the list and have been unable to find a definitive answer to this problem. I am using Samba 3.0.2xx as a PDC. The server that runs this also happens to be a NIS master (not sure if this complicates matters or not). When a user's password is changed within a windows client that is part of this domain (i.e. using ctrl-alt-del), the password change correctly propagates to the

Hi all, Is there any way to automatically update the samba password when a user changes his unix account password using the passwd command. I want samba to look in passwd file for authentication. I dont want to create two accounts one for local unix and then for the samba. I am not planning to deploy ldap as a solution. Is there any workaround. Anish

Okay - I've got samba working as a PDC with and ldap backend. I want to have some users not be in ldap (like the built in stuff like cyrus, mail, lp etc) I can get that to work with the pam_ldap and pam_unix but pam_smbpass doesn't seem to return user_unknown as i expect for users who are not in the ldap database does this make sense? --- pam_smb_passwd.c 12 Feb 2002 15:56:19

My company, which is a mac-heavy shop in the printing industry, needed to migrate to a faster file server. As our directory trees are very large, both Samba, and Netatalk were bogging down badly on our Linux server (Samba, due to heavy CPU usage during directory listings - the case-sensitive file system issue, and netatalk because the cnid db was getting too big). Our solution was to switch to a

Hi, I noticed that when using (on debian unstable, samba 3.0pre): passdb backend = ldapsam the "unix passwd sync" in no longer performed, even if "pam password change" is on. Is ther a way to keep the userPassword (samba), lmPassword(samba), ntPassword(samba) fields synchronized with smbpasswd? Thanks in advance, cheers, -- ldm@apartia.org

In the interest of not having password divergence between NT and unix I've got everything authenticating against and ldap database. samba password updates are not a problem - i just use the unix password syncing features. however the other direction is proving to be a problem. I can rig pam to update both passwords with pam_ldap and pam_smbpass on machines that run samba. On some machines I

Hi all. I've spent the last several days trying to get pam_smbpass working on my RH62 box with samba-2.2.x unsuccessfully, and hoped someone could help. I've tried versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.6, but I suspect it's perhaps a misunderstanding of what exactly pam_smbpass is used for. There are a few things I'm trying to do: - sync /etc/shadow with /etc/samba/smbpasswd - sync

Hi All, Has anyone used pam_smbpass before with Samba 3 and Solaris 9? The problem I am facing is that the sambaNTPassword/sambaLMPassword and the posixAccount userPassword attributes are not the same. While I can use "net rpc vampire" to migrate the lanman password hashes the posixAccount attribute remains unpopulated. I have discovered that the smbldap tools has scripts to
