Hi all. I'm setting up a samba 2.2.8 with ldap auth. On the same machine i use pam_ldap to auth unix users. my current smb.conf is ----------- begin --------------- [global] netbios name = LDAP-TEST workgroup = LDAP-NET os level = 255 time server = NO unix extensions = Yes encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User printing = CUPS printcap name = CUPS socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY wins support = No veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/ obey pam restrictions = No # inizio configurazione ldap ldap server = 127.0.0.1 ldap port = 389 ldap suffix = ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com ldap filter = (&(uid=%u)) (objectclass=sambaAccount))" ldap ssl = off [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = No read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp printable = Yes create mask = 0600 browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 I have unix account and samba account correctly inserted in ldap server. ------------------------------------------------------------ When i try to login on samba from MACHINENAME as USERNAME i see in ldap's log and messages log ----------------------------------------------------- slapd[1179]: conn=124 op=1 SRCH base="ou=People,dc=modiano,dc=com" scope=1 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=MACHINENAME\5CUSERNAME)) slapd[1179]: conn=114 op=1 SRCH base="ou=People,dc=modiano,dc=com" scope=1 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=COMPU\5CP_NEGRI))" slapd[1179]: conn=114 op=1 SRCH attr=uid userPassword uidNumber gidNumber cn homeDirectory loginShell gecos description objectClass slapd[1179]: conn=114 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 textsmbd[2077]: [2004/01/19 11:30:28, 0] passdb/secrets.c:fetch_ldap_pw(264) smbd[2077]: fetch_ldap_pw: no ldap secret retrieved! smbd[2077]: [2004/01/19 11:30:28, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_connect_system(308) smbd[2077]: ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for from secrets.tdb smbd[2077]: [2004/01/19 11:30:28, 0] passdb/secrets.c:fetch_ldap_pw(264) smbd[2077]: fetch_ldap_pw: no ldap secret retrieved! smbd[2077]: [2004/01/19 11:30:28, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_connect_system(308) smbd[2077]: ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for from secrets.tdb smbd[2077]: [2004/01/19 11:30:28, 0] passdb/secrets.c:fetch_ldap_pw(264) smbd[2077]: fetch_ldap_pw: no ldap secret retrieved! smbd[2077]: [2004/01/19 11:30:28, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_connect_system(308) smbd[2077]: ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for from secrets.tdb ---------------------------------------- I think the issue is due to the fact that pam try to check if MACHINENAME\5CUSERNAME is an existing unix account; but the uid USERNAME exists, MACHINENAME\5CUSERNAME doesn't. I'm sure it's a misconfiguration error, i've googled so much but without success. Thanks in advance for any help. -- blank: Caught deadly signal TERM blank: Finished.
