Hi there, i'd like to use NIS (AIX based) to authenticate the samba-users (to implement samba enterprise wide) in "using samba" is an option which should be configured (--with-nis) (NOT the --with-nisplus option) now i got 2.2.5 (source) - but in "configure" this option is missing Was this dropped in version 2.2.5 ? Which was the last version that's able to work with NIS ? Does anyone know how i can get this thing working ? Udo E.

I'm not sure what happe4ned to the --with-nis option either, but it seems to work just fine. Perhaps they made it part of the default set? We use nis and winbind, and NT users with matching UN(IX accounts get assigned the UID and GID I have in NIS.

I've only managed to get winbind users when using winbind. smbd would refer to the users in winbind regardless of the users existance in other NSS databases.

Two things seemed to affect this for us: 1. Set the winbind use default domain parameter to yes winbind use default domain = yes 2. The winbind separator The docs show / and + as sample separators, but + is special in NIS, and / is special in UNIX. I used _ (underscore) as my winbind separator. Buchan Milne passed on the use default domain tip (thanks!). I found a NIS Reference buried in the smb.conf man page. It only refers to the NIS group definitions, but the light went off that NIS was probably being adversely affected by the "+" winbind separator we were using. Changing it to underscore fixed us up. Let me know if this does the job for you as well.

thanks for your answer the point is - we don't have an ms-domain - and i don't want to set it up we have some citrix metaframe (single) servers that actually connect to Novell Netware 3.20 (!) the commercial applications run on AIX (via telnet) the plan is to move the Novell structure directly to an linux box using samba Each user has a login/password on the AIX (NIS-based) I just want to use this (very fine working) system to authenticate the users of the samba on the linux box any help is appreciated best regards Udo E.

why dont you use samba in domain mode, and users map it will be less maintenance right? -----Original Message----- From: Mac [mailto:dmccann@nibsc.ac.uk] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 9:04 AM To: samba@samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] 2.2.5 and NIS question>From: Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org> >To: ufo@reiff-gmbh.de >Cc: Karen.Wieprecht@jhuapl.edu, samba@lists.samba.org >Subject: Re: [Samba] 2.2.5 and NIS question >Date: Mon, 07 Oct 2002 22:32:08 +1000 > >ufo@reiff-gmbh.de wrote: >> >> Each user has a login/password on the AIX (NIS-based) >> I just want to use this (very fine working) system to authenticate the >> users of the samba on the linux box > >The problem is, we can't do this with encypted passwords.Not entirely true. You can't do it with encrypted passwords easily. We currently run an encrypted password Samba server on our conventional NIS master machine. A little bit of scripting keeps the passwords in sync, and a bit more keeps account creations and deletions in sync too. So, the users have one password, which is stored in both NIS and SMB password files. We also run at least one Samba server with 'update encrypted = yes'. This requires plain-text capable clients, but allows us to capture the user's (NIS) password into SMB encrypted format. I've (roughly) written this up at:- http://www.nibsc.ac.uk/~dmccann/smb/ (The write-up doesn't mention the 'update encrypted' server, but that's only relevant to people migrating from NIS only to NIS and SMB. If you're starting NIS and SMB from scratch, it doesn't matter).
