Hi! I've wrote to you on previous occasion but surprisingly nobody seems to have this problem, I don't know if it can be an error mine in the configuration files or if it's a problem in the Samba with cracklib, well I've installed samba 3.0.4 and put in the file /etc/pam.d/samba an entry to the cracklib library but smbd seems to do nothing with this line, I've devel cracklib's libraries installed and my cracklib works properly with the system accounts. I hope you tell me some idea because I'm very lost. Thanks you in advance. My configuration files are these: The smb.conf has: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [global] workgroup = DOMINFO73 interfaces = 127.0.0.1, eth0 bind interfaces only = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd %u passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://demonio.servidores.fadesa pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u unix password sync = Yes load printers = No logon script = inicio.bat logon home = \\%N\%U\samba.perfiles log level = 3 domain logons = Yes domain master = Yes encrypt passwords = Yes ldap suffix = dc=fadesa,dc=es ldap machine suffix = ou=maquinas ldap user suffix = ou=personas ldap group suffix = ou=grupos ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap ldap admin dn = cn=manager,dc=fadesa,dc=es ldap ssl = no ldap passwd sync = Yes idmap backend = ldap:ldap://demonio.servidores.fadesa [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [public] comment = Carpeta p?lica path = /tmp/samba.compartida read only = No guest ok = Yes [netlogon] comment = The domain netlogon service path = /home/%U/samba.netlogon read only = No browseable = No ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The /etc/pam.d/samba file has these lines: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_warn.so auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_unix.so account required pam_warn.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_warn.so password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 type#password required pam_pwcheck.so #password required pam_unix.so shadow md5 use_authtok try_first_pass session required pam_unix.so
