I can not get password sync to work with ldap and samba 3.0 beta 1. I'm not sure if I have screwed something up or if it is a bug. I'm currently using: openldap = 2.0.27 samba = 3.0 beta1 nss_ldap = 207 My setup is as follows sorry if it is too much info my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = AEROSPACE server string = AE-ORVILLE netbios name = AE-ORVILLE name resolve order = lmhosts bcast host wins hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xxx. xxx.xxx.xxx. load printers = yes idmap uid = 10000-15000 idmap gid = 10000-15000 passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, guest unix password sync = Yes pam password change = yes ldap delete dn = no ldap suffix = dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx ldap ssl = start tls printcap name = cups printing = cups log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 log level = 8 security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY interfaces = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/23 local master = yes os level = 255 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes wins server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dns proxy = no logon drive = H: logon path = \\%N\%U\MSWinProfile [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No writable = Yes [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/samba/lib/netlogon read only = yes write list = ntadmin guest ok = yes writable = no share modes = no [profiles] path = \\%N\%U\MSWinProfile read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /usr/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes Here is my slapd.conf file: include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/krb5-kdc.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema loglevel 296 pidfile /var/state/openldap/slapd.pid argsfile /var/state/openldap/slapd.args TLSCipherSuite HIGH TLSCertificateFile /etc/openldap/certs/slapd-cert.pem TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/openldap/certs/slapd-key.pem password-hash {MD5} access to attrs=userPassword by self write by * auth access to attrs=sambaLMPassword,sambaNTPassword by dn="uid=administrator, ou=System, ou=People, dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx" write by self write by * auth access to dn.children="dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx" by self write by * read database ldbm suffix "dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx" rootpw secret directory /var/lib/openldap-ldbm index objectClass eq index uid pres,eq index sambaSID eq index uidNumber eq index gidNumber eq index cn eq index memberUid eq index sambaPrimaryGroupSID eq index displayName pres,eq index mail eq,subinitial index surname eq,subinitial index givenname eq,subinitial ldap.conf file: host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx base dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx nss_base_passwd dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx?sub nss_base_shadow dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx?sub nss_base_group ou=Groups,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx?one ssl start_tls pam_password exop my pam.d samba file: # pam_smbpass.so authenticates against the smbpasswd file auth required pam_smbpass.so nodelay account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required pam_smbpass.so nodelay smbconf=/etc/samba/smb.conf my pam.d sys-auth file: auth required /lib/security/pam_env.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok nodelay auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required /lib/security/pam_deny.so account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so nullok md5 shadow use_authtok password sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so use_authok password required /lib/security/pam_deny.so session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so session required /lib/security/pam_unix.so session required /lib/security/pam_ldap.so As an ldap authenticated user I can change the unix password with passwd and the samba password with smbpasswd when sync is not enabled; however when it is enabled I get: Old SMB password: New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified password is invalid. Failed to change password for roltman If I run it in smbpasswd in debug mode it fails immediately after entering the "old password". I currently have both (UNIX & Samba) passwords set the same. Does anyone have this working? Does pam_smbpass.so nodelay smbconf=/etc/samba/smb.conf need to be included in my sys-auth file instead? TIA, Ryan S Oltman
