What should a configuration look like for Red Hat 7.3 when authenticating users against Winbind, for a telnet session? I have done the following so far: Installed Samba Joined the system to the domain Loaded Winbind Edited /etc/pam.d/login #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so Although this doesn't work. The user is prompted for a password twice and denied a telnet session. The logs show a pam_unix authentication request but nothing about pam_winbind. Is pam_stack.so responsible for calling pam_unix through specifying service=system-auth? I'm assuming so.. Can someone show me a demo file that will get telnet sessions authenticating against winbind? Other things are: When I run 'getent passwd' my local and NT Domain accounts all show up aswell, however the domain accounts show up in the format of DOMAIN\User. On a FreeBSD system I am also toying with, I could chown files to a user in the format of DOMAIN\user. Do they have to login this way? Is there a way to drop the DOMAIN\ section if this is the case? -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd. adam.smith@sageautomation.com http://www.sageautomation.com "Just a friendly wave each morning.." - Neighbours
