Hi All
I just installed samba 3.0 with the --with-netgroup-support option. I was
under the impression this would allow me to connect to my unix system using
NIS authentication.
I am using the unix system for just file sharing. I think I am missing
something. Below is my smb.conf. I would appreciate any help you can give
me. Also the windows guys have implement active directory but I want the
users to authenticate using NIS.
Thanks
Ben

You don't need any extra flags as long as NIS users can be obtained via getpwnam(). You do need to disable 'encrypt passwords' though. And you will also probably need to read up on the 'password level' parameter in smb.conf(5). | # Global parameters | [global] | workgroup = HEALTH | server string = Solaris Samba Server 3.0 | security = SERVER | password server = addc01 This doesn't make sense to me if you want to authenticate against NIS. I think you need to read the HOWTO's again. security = server is for authenticating against a remote SMB server (and this mode has been deprecated in favor of security = domain for several years now). cheers, jerry ~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com ~ SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org ~ GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc ~ "You can never go home again, Oatman, but I guess you can shop there." ~ --John Cusack - "Grosse Point Blank" (1997) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/gr1HIR7qMdg1EfYRAr2TAJ4sWk4ekC46NLSkdW3BLXZfPaFFggCgjJ7U 45s/dgFH27qNNNMxddp0oIo=keL4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
