Hi all, I am trying to make it possible to log into a Linux client authenticating against a running Samba PDC (24 Windows XP clients do so sccessfully) (SuSE Linux 9.1; Samba 3.0.9-2.6-SUSE) The client is running Gentoo Linux with Samba Samba 3.0.14a I configured everything like written in the Samba HowTo "23. Winbind: Use of Domain Accounts" When I login with "biopool/test" and the correct password, I get a "Permission denied" When I use a wrong password I get a "Login incorrect" So it seams as if the authentication to the PDC works. But something goes wrong after that. I have no clue what, or where to search. Google didn't find an answere. So here are my configs: smb.conf (client): --------------------------------- [global] workgroup = BIOPOOL security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = No allow trusted domains = No password server = 172.30.2.251 passdb backend = tdbsam ldap ssl = no idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 template shell = /bin/bash winbind use default domain = Yes winbind trusted domains only = Yes pam_login(client) ------------------------------------ #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so use_first_pass auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so use_first_pass use_authtok password sufficient pam_winbind.so use_first_pass use_authtok session sufficient pam_winbind.so use_first_pass use_authtok session required /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0077 messages for login with wrong PW: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sep 29 15:35:49 pool04 login(pam_unix)[11222]: auth could not identify password for [biopool\test] Sep 29 15:35:53 pool04 pam_winbind[11222]: request failed: Wrong Password, PAM error was 7, NT error was NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD Sep 29 15:35:53 pool04 pam_winbind[11222]: user `biopool\test' denied access (incorrect password or invalid membership) Sep 29 15:35:53 pool04 login[11222]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM /dev/tty2 FOR UNKNOWN, Permission denied messages f??or ????login with correct PW: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Sep 29 15:37:29 pool04 login(pam_unix)[11255]: auth could not identify password for [biopool\test] Sep 29 15:37:34 pool04 pam_winbind[11255]: user 'biopool\test' granted access Sep 29 15:37:34 pool04 login[11255]: Permission denied So where is my mistake? Could anybody please give me some hints where I have to start my search? thanks a lot Bjoern
