List, I have installed Red Hat 8.0 and Samba. I have set up samba to use Winbind and I can getent passwd a name on the domain. I have set up the login and sshd files in pam.d to allow users to log in(also, added winbind to the nsswitch.conf file). I have also set up pam_mkhomedir.so to create the home folders. I have also set this up on a Red Hat 7.3 server with no problems. What I'm getting is this. When the user logs in, and puts in NT Domain username and password, it pauses for a sec, then the SSH term (Putty) simply disappears. In the secure log file, it states this sshd[2924]: fatal: PAM session setup failed[6]: Permission denied. Now, I ran into this problem before and updating the pam mods seems to fix this. However, the rpm for the pam mods are newer on the RH 8.0 box. Also, I have made sure that everyone has R X permissions on the pam_mkhomedir.so file. They also have the initial DOMAIN name specified in the home folder. Any Idea why permissions would be denied? If you need to see the config files for samba, let me know Any help would be great...
