Dear Samba folks,
I have heard and seen nothing about this
or matters like it since my posting, so I thought
I would repost with some updates.
My thinking at the moment is to
try to recompile SAMBA (I am using a Fedora
core 2 binary distribution) without PAM support,
but I hate to do that.
Here it is again:
I very recently replaced our SGI Challenge S file
server, which employed samba 2 to service Windows boxes,
with an Intel Linux box running Fedora core 2 Linux
with samba 3.0.3.
When I connect to the server, it takes a number
of *minutes* to get an authentication challenge
window. After entering name and password,
the connection proceeds, and shares are displayed
normally. Passwords are not encrypted (at least
not at this time), as I don't like the idea
of having to have a password set sitting on disk,
and for other reasons.
The log entries at the time of connect are
VERY many, but they go in this cycle:
[2004/06/07 08:24:19, 2] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_auth(514)
smb_pam_auth: PAM: Athentication Error for user bonomo
[2004/06/07 08:24:19, 2] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_error_handler(73)
smb_pam_error_handler: PAM: Authentication Failure : Authentication
failure
[2004/06/07 08:24:19, 0] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_passcheck(810)
smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User bonomo !
[2004/06/07 08:24:19, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(312)
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [bonomo] -> [bonomo]
After the above cycle repeats MANY times, then it goes to this...
FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD
[2004/06/07 08:28:37, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(305)
check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [bonomo] -> [bonomo] ->
[bonomo] succeeded
[2004/06/07 08:28:37, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(324)

[2004/06/07 08:28:59, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(619)
There are also log entries complaining that the UID
is less than 100 (which it is not).
Assistance would be much appreciated!
Rich
