Hi, I'm running a Debian Sarge box that I want to authenticate against a Win 2003 Server. I understand that the old RH way of doing it was to use pam_smb_auth.so, which was easy to set up but inherently insecure. So, I've configured pam, winbind and samba, but obviously not quite correctly. When I try to su to a user with a windows password it fails and I get the following error in /var/log/auth.log: pam_winbind[12063]: request failed: No such user, PAM error was 10, NT error was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER This user definitely exists in both /etc/passwd, and in the windows ADS tree. I can log in as the same user with the unix password, so at least the pam_unix module is working. Another clue: wbinfo -u on its own fails, but it works fine if I run: wbinfo --set-auth-user=gregt -u and enter a password. Any ideas? thanks, Greg Extract from /etc/samba/smb.conf --------------------- workgroup = my.domain.com realm = MY.DOMAIN.COM security = DOMAIN password server = server1 server2 winbind uid = 30000-40000 winbind gid = 30000-40000 template shell = /bin/bash winbind separator = + pam.d/common-auth ----------------- auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so use_first_pass /etc/nsswitch.conf ------------------ passwd: compat winbind group: compat winbind shadow: compat hosts: files dns networks: files dns protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files netgroup: nis Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
