Hi all I am attempting to install winbind on a Redhat 9 machine with an NT4 PDC. The winbind version is samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0 as a stock RH install. I have followed the install instructions on the man page and I still get the errors shown below. I have searched google for the STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW (0x80000005)error and the plaintext password authentication failed error but nothing I've found has led me to a solution. Something I am unsure about though is the sentence in the man page that reads: In /etc/pam.d/* replace the auth lines with something like this: what is the * in /etc/pam.d/? I have tried those lines in /etc/pam.d/samba /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/system-auth but I am unsure if those are the correct places. Any insight or other documents that would help me with this are greatly appreciated.

I have a Domain that is going to span multiple subnets (14 to be exact). I am running Samba 2.2.8a with WINS. In the O'Reilly's Book "Using Samba" on page 231/232 its says you need 4 things: 1) You must have either either a Windows NT/2000 or Samba server acting as a local master browser on each subnet in the workgroup/domain 2) You must have either a WindowsNT/2000 or samba server acting as a domian master browser somewhere in the workgroup/domain 3) A WINS server should be on the network, with each system on the network configured to use it for name resolution. I have steps two and three, what I am confused on is why step number one has to be NT/2000. Does WinXP qualify as NT/2000? If I don't have NT/2000 or Samba in a subnet, what are the ramifications of that? -- ---- Corey Hart Systems/Security Analyst St. Edward's University coreyh@admin.stedwards.edu 512/428-1038 - voice 512/448-8492 - fax 512/470-8462 - cell
