Hello all, I am currently using NIS for authentication with clear text passwords. We would like to move to password encryption. Any ideas whether NIS would support encrypted password on samba 3.X ? if not what would be my other options. Sheikji Nazirudeen IT Analyst Syracuse University 315-443-1207
Why not use winbind? If that doesn't suit your needs (maybe you need to authenticate with both NIS from a UNIX box and Samba from a PDC) then try combining them together with LDAP? ________________________________ From: samba-bounces+i-dees=cornellcollege.edu@lists.samba.org on behalf of Sheikji Nazirudeen Sent: Thu 6/23/2005 2:30 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] NIS authentication on samba Hello all, I am currently using NIS for authentication with clear text passwords.

I think I am bit confused here. we don't have any Window PDC or BDC we just authenticate users from our NIS group when they try to map Unix drives in their Windows systems. So would password encryption work with the above setup. I believe the alternative would be to use ldap Sheikji Nazirudeen IT Analyst Syracuse University 315-443-1207>>> "Ian Dees" <I-Dees@cornellcollege.edu> 6/23/2005 3:42:01 PM >>>Why not use winbind?
