Hi all, I get the error message "not authorized to login from this station". This is not fixed as suggested in past posts (encrypt = no, NT4_plainpassword.reg). I have libpam-mysql installed. And it never even gets called for authentication from the NT machine! If I connect from the local PC with smbclient //server/share password -U user I get the following in syslog (I turned on debugging and added the "I'm being called" syslog entry): # I put in this call to syslog to make sure the functions get called: Nov 1 15:28:59 server smbd[1725]: I'm being called! Nov 1 15:29:00 server last message repeated 3 times Nov 1 15:29:00 server smbd[1725]: pam_mysql: select user from auth where user='user' and passwd='passwd' So pam-mysql gets do to it's work. And I can connect successfully. Connecting from a NT machine however leaves nothing in syslog! Why does samba not ask pam-mysql to authenticate? If I don't use pam, it works perfectly. Here is my /etc/pam.d/samba: auth optional pam_mysql.so ... options to mysql account required pam_mysql.so ... options to mysql -- Danie Roux *shuffle* Adore Unix
