Hi,
I have got winbind working on Solaris 8!
I got Samba 2.4 woring perfectly but I think it would be no proble to get
2.2.3 working either...
In the next few days I'll email some general documentation to this list
with the instructions to follow....
I am not at work so cannot give the exact details now.
but here is a tip..
First compile..
./configure --prefix=/directory --with-winbind --with-pam ... etc
gmake, gmake install
copy some libraries..
cp ./nsswitch/pam_winbind.so /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
cp ./nsswithc/libnss_winbind.so /lib/
ln -s /lib/libnss_winbind.so /lib/nss_winbind.so
then mess around with the pam.conf...
login account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
...
login auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
...
etc ..
Be careful .. I messed up and could't telnet in to my solaris server after a
foolish
modification. Always keep a spare telnet session open.
SOME ISSUES:
1) Unable to change local passwords in /etc/passwd file due to
security restriction in the solaris passwd binary. It checks the
nsswitch.conf for
a subset of name-services (files, ldap, nis, nis+, etc) but not winbind.
FIX: Temporarily edit nsswitch.conf to remove "winbind" text,
change the password
edit nsswitch.conf again to re-enable winbind
2) I was unable to login to my Veritas Volume Manager today (access denied)
locally. This was due to my pam.conf.
I commented a "Other account ..." clause in my pam.conf temporarily
and login worked ok..
3) Winbind: Use Domain Name = No (default)
When this smb.conf clause I cannot telnet to the server as I do not know
what telnet expects.
I tried login: "ie-domain-nt\account",
login: ie-domain-nt\account
login: account
login: "account"
but none would work.
If I change Use Domain Name = Yes then I can telnet in successfully.
Fix: I just use the default as I don't need to telnet in.
I was just interested if it could be done.
regards,
Noel.
