subject: linux client auth to samba pdc fails I have a problem getting linux clients to authenticate against a Samba PDC. /etc/pam.d/system-auth #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so debug auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so debug likeauth nullok auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_smb_auth.so debug use_first_pass nolocal auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so debug account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so debug account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so debug uid < 100 quiet account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_permit.so debug password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so debug retry=3 password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so debug nullok use_authtok md5 #password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_smb_auth.so debug use_first_pass nolocal password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so debug session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so debug session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so debug /etc/pam_smb.conf "my domain" "my Server" none When I try to logon to the linux client machine with a username and password stored in samba I get the following error message in /var/log/samba/%m.logfile [2005/11/17 14:21:53, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(609) Closing connections [2005/11/17 14:21:53, 3] smbd/connection.c:yield_connection(69) Yielding connection to [2005/11/17 14:21:53, 3] smbd/connection.c:yield_connection(76) yield_connection: tdb_delete for name failed with error Record does not exist. [2005/11/17 14:21:53, 3] smbd/server.c:exit_server(652) Server exit (normal exit) I need help fixing this. The goal is to have a Samba PDC server that will authenticate both windwos and linux clients using the same password. Windows clients rely on the samba PDC for user info, authentication, user network shares, etc. And Linux clients rely on ldap for user info (/etc/password type stuff), nfs for access to user network share, and samba for authentication. This setup works on our old platform; RH9, samba 2.something, ldapV2.2.13 but I cannot get smb auth to work for the linux clients. Any help?
