Hi,
I got 2 problems :-
1. I was compiling samba-2.2.7-4.src.rpm on Redhat 8.0 system and with the
option --with-pam_smbpass. It always fail when I am doing a rpmbuild -ba
samba.specs. The error is similar to the person who posted on
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba-technical/2002-September/039415.html but
no one answered him.
I was also compiling with the following extra options:- --with-msdfs
--with-profile --disable-static --with-ldapsam
When I compile it without --with-pam_smbpass, it compiles perfectly. Any idea
how I can compile pam_smbpass separately? Please give me the steps and the
download site if any.... thanks. Or anyone can give me the solution to this?
2. My scenario is as follows:-
I got 1 Netware 6.0 server running ldap. I have successfully used pam_ldap and
nss_ldap on my Redhat box to query the netware server and have configured login
and ssh to authenticate with the Netware 6.0.
Now I have included Samba into the server. And I want the samba users to
authenticate with the Netware 6.0 ldap server.
I know that I have to extend the schema for the netware ldap server for samba
entries but I cannot import smbpasswd into the netware 6.0 server. So this
option is out. And I don't know how to input the ldap data into the netware
server.
Win2k machines uses different hashing for the password compared with the
posixAccount password in the Netware 6.0 server.
Is there any way that I can do some unhashing on the samba server when it gets
the password from the login user(hidden work) and then compare that password
with my netware 6.0 password? Basically I want samba users to authenticate to
Netware 6.0 server.
Can pam_smbpass do the job? From what I read it cannot. Please justify if it
can help me.
Any person out there who have successfully did it with a Netware 6.0 ldap
server? Please give some solutions/ideas if you have.
