[Samba] Samba3 : windbindd log missing failing user name
Question : how can I get the name of the user in the winbindd log if user fails authentication ? I'm running a FreeBsd 6 server with Postfix Dovecot Cyrus-Sasl Samba3 The primary task of the server is running a mail server wich autheticates users against a AD (W2003 server). Everything works fine. Users can access authenticated mail services (sending and receiving) with local or remote (AD) user and password. Yet I get authentication error in daily log. mail.dmsware.it login failures: Apr 22 16:49:49 mail pam_winbind[84300]: request failed: Wrong Password, PAM error was 9, NT error was NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD The error changes in Apr 22 16:53:11 mail pam_winbind[84315]: request failed: Account locked out, PAM error was 8, NT error was NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_LOCKED_OUT after 5 trials (as AD locks out account according to policy) Yet no user is asking me for help... so I'm afraid it is not an internal User, but somebody trying to get an unauthorized access from outside ( yes this is not an internal mail server only) so the Question : how can I get the name of the user in the winbindd log if user fails authentication ? I checked EVERY log from Messages to maillog... no hint about the user failing authentication ! How could get the same of the user failing authentication on the server ? Some hint please ?
