I have discovered that a user who has a blank GECOS field in the passwd file under RedHat 4.0 (Colgate) is unable to change passwords. Running the passwd command goes like this: [user@host user]$ passwd Password: [entry of old passwd] New password: [entry of new passwd] [user@host user]$ echo $! 1 [user@host user]$ Setting the name field in the G...

Dear all; I'm trying to use winbindd to resolve names in an AD setup. I can authenticate just fine, but I've noticed that for some users "getent passwd" returns a GECOS field populated with displayName from the LDAP servers and for others is does not. For example: $ getent passwd user1 user1:*:1111111111:2222222222:John Doe:/home/user1:/bin/bash $ getent passwd user2 user2:*:3333333333:2222222222::/home/user2:/bin/bash I don't see any systemati...

This has always bothered me.. wtf does gecos mean (in the samba ldap)?

...my own use? Our site uses loginIDs for users that give no clue as to their identity, it would be nice to turn those IDs into the user's actual name so I know who is doing what. I've been playing with wbinfo which seemed like a good place to start, but no joy there. I'm looking for GECOS info, not the user's UID or GID.

...tc. against another database. Personally, I can easily do an LDAP search for the IDs, but we have other corporate tools that don't understand, nor want to understand how to find my LDAP server. I know Samba doesn't need any more smb.conf options, but that would be one way for the "gecos" output to be selected by the admin. Thanks! Bill Marshall

Hi, I am using the Idealx smbldap scripts to manage my samba users in an OpenLDAP backend. The smbldap.conf specifies the value for the gecos attribute, which is then propogated to the displayName attribute by the smbldap-useradd script. As a result when I log on to windows the user is displayed as "System User" in the start menu (and presumably other places as well). Ideally there would be a way to make displayName default t...

...r' paramater has been removed. After some search, I read that I have to configure nss_ldap. But I don't know how to configure it properly to operate with our LDAP database. Let me explain : We used the 'ldap filter' parameter like this : ldap filter = (&(iufmLogin=%u)(gecos=#*)) Our authentication is based on the 'iufmLogin' attribute (we cannot use the 'uid' attribute) and the gecos has to start with the '#' character for the user to be authenticated. But my problem is that I can't parameter the /etc/ldap.conf file to use these filte...

Hello, The Wiki indicates that Dovecot can do either mbox or Maildir on a per-user basis: default_mail_env can be overridden in userdb for each user. This works with userdbs supporting the "mail" attribute (eg. passwd-file, SQL, LDAP). How exactly does one do this for passwd-file? Thanks, -Jon -- Jon Nathan jon at rupture.net
