samba - Aug 2007 - winbind offline logon

Hello,

I'd like to have more information about the winbind offline logon.

Could I for example use pam_winbind on a linux system (domain member)
for ssh, this works fine (the PDC is samba also). What I understood is
that if I stop my PDC, I should still be able to connect with ssh as it
uses pam_winbind. But that doesn't work :(

thx 

fred

You to to enable this in winbindd ("winbind offline logon
= yes" in smb.conf) and for pam_winbind ("cached_login = yes"
in /etc/security/pam_winbind.conf).

In 3.0.25, the offline logons only work with the tdb backend
but all backends are supported in the 3.2.0 tree.




cheers, jerry
