Hello..
I wonder, in which way Samba supports PAM? I downloaded
samba-2.0.6-19991110 and there I found in changelog it's compiled
with --with-pam..
My desire is to authenticate Samba users against Novell NDS. I
managed to do this (under Linux) with many programs but Samba somehow
resists :)
I put something like this into /etc/pam.d/samba :
auth required /lib/security/pam_ncp_auth.so use_first_pass
server=some_server
But Samba still authenticates against smbpasswd :( .. one more
question - is there a way to completely disable the need of smbpasswd
if I want to authenticate _only_ against Novell NDS ?
Please help :-)
Thanx..

Samba will authenticate against the smbpasswd file when the parameter "encrypt passwords" is set to true in the smb.conf file. In order to use a PAM based password, you are going to have to disable the encrypt passwords parameter. This means, if you are using NT 4.0 SP3 or greater or a more recent release of Win95 (I can't remember exactly which) or any release of Win98, that you will have to enable clear text passwords from the desktop with a registry hack. See the Win95.txt and WinNT.txt files in the documents tree in the Samba directory for details. Let me know if this works out for you.

--with-pam works, as long as you don't encrypt passwords... Marek Les wrote:> > Hello.. > > I wonder, in which way Samba supports PAM?
