...ldap, and pam_ldap to enable my linux boxes to auth against MsA.D. and get all their user info from MsA.D. I recently discovered that winbind can accomplish the same without Mssfu, as long as I'm content to be limitted by the winbind config directives 'template shell' and 'template homedir'. I'd like to drop sfu if I can. The 'template shell' limitation (all users have same login shell) is no problem for me. The 'template homedir' limitation (all users have homedir defined by recognized macros) might be a problem for me: I don't want all the homedirs to...

Greetings, I'm using 2.0.0-alpha13 on Solaris (compiling with gcc 2.8.1 on Solaris 2.5, running on 2.5, 2.5.1, and 2.6). I see this in the smb.conf.5 man page: nis homedir (G) Get the home share server from a NIS (or YP) map. For unix systems that use an automounter, the user's home directory will often be mounted on a workstation on demand from a remote server. When the Samba logon server is not the actual home directory server,...

Hello list, we have two samba servers on two localities with bigger distance between them. On both localities there are organizational staff working. And I am trying to configure homedirectories for all of staff in this way: - all users will have same beginning part of URL path where is their homedir located (i.e. \\files.example.com\loginname) for unification and central acces - but because the lower speed link between both localities there is need to locate homedirs: -- for...

Hello, we are using Dovecot 1.2.6 with activated listescape-Plugin. Mutt mutt seems to have a problem with listescape (or my configuration [1] is screwed). When I log in with mutt over imap an press "c", I see al the folders, .Trash, .Drafts etc. But when I try to change to .Drafts (for example), mutt gives me the error the he can't find the folder "\2eDrafts". Is this

Sorry if this is an old problem. I have just installed 1.9.18p10 - the latest version. I noticed the nis homedir option in the config file, but have not had much luck in implementing it. I had hoped it would mean my [homes] shares would map to the correct server - the one which physically carries a users home directory - regardless of the machine to which the connection attempt was made. My [homes] sections...

When I set "template homedir = /home/%D/%U" in sshd.conf, new logins' home directories are: /home/{username at domain} rather than /home/domain/username Hardcoding the domain (template homedir = /home/domain/%U) also produces the same result. What am I missing?

Hi, I have set up Samba 3.0.0 with ADS integration. It works fine, with a workaround for a small oddity. I use template homedirs like this: template homedir = /home/%D/%U On a soon-to-be-retired server running 3.0a19, I have a directory LOCAL (as in LOCAL.DOMAIN.NAME) containing the homedirs - this works as expected from the output of "getent passwd", which shows the homedirs of domain users as /home/LOCAL/...

Hi, I have successfully joined a Debian 7 box to a 2008 R2 Windows Domain using Samba and Winbind. The Linux uid is pulled from the uidNumber in Active Directory as is the shell and home dir. PAM is also configured to create a user's homedir on login. The trouble is that in AD the homedir is set to '/User' and I don't want that to be the case on the Debian boxes - I would like to set it as /home/domain/user. Can I override the homedir setting on a per-client basis using the smb.conf? I have tried using Template homedi...

Hi List, since the upgrade of a LDAP based PDC/BDC system to PDC/BDC and fileserver we have problems with users sporadic loolsing their homedirs. These events are unreproducible and only sporadic. Only the homedir not any of the other shares mounted from the fileserver are subject to this connection breakoff. The logs seem to suggest the username has been "forgotten" by the fileserver as the user wants to access this private s...

Hello.. I've asked this question before without getting any further help really.. When a new user is added using "adduser" on 5.x (havn't really checked if it's the same under 4.x or not), the default homedir permission is 755 (drwxr-xr-x) which to me, looks a bit insecure? It's of course pretty easy to solve it by a simple chmod, but yet, isn't there anyway to change the default chmod value? Last time I asked about this, people told me to check out the skel directory, but the only thing you can...

I would be grateful if anybody could supply some more information on the 'nis homedir' option (Samba 1.9.17a4). We have home directories spread over several Samba hosts. Although they can be accessed via 'amd' from any other server it would be a great benefit to be able to guarantee that all connections were made directly to the correct server. The man page looks promisi...

...our samba server, we are using posix information stored in an openldap directory. - I can log in via shell with no problems. We are authenticating samba against AD2003. I can attach to the samba server from both windows and macintosh - just not access my home directory. Currently, "template homedir = /home/%U" - which results in a path of /home/<username> I would like to use the homeDirectory field found in openldap - which is different for different classes of users. i.e.: /usr/guests/guest_name /usr/netapp/student/student_name /usr/netapp/faculty/faculty_name /...

Hi list, is it possible to add multiple homedir templates to smb.conf ? I have a running linuxsystem where homefilesets are mounted from different windows-servers to subdirs like: /home/server01/home/USERNAME /home/server02/home/USERNAME /home/server03/home/USERNAME The users come via winbind. In the smb.conf the entry for the homedir: temp...

Hi all, I'm using dovecot 2.0-beta4's sieve plugin and it works great but here is an idea for improvement: When creating the first sieve script for an account whose home dir does not yet exist then dovecot *does* create that homedir but the sieve client times out. Tried Thunderbird's sieve addon as well as horde's ingo. The log says: dovecot: managesieve-login: Login: user=<me at example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured dovecot: managesieve(me at example.com): sieve-storage: sieve_stora...

Hello, I would like to have linux users to have same homedirs as in windows. Now home directories are on windows 2000 server. How I can map users homedirectory from windows 2000 server to linux workstation with credentials user gives at logintime? Or even better, how I can persistently map those homedirectories to linux (without mapping them as an administ...

Hello, I use Dovecot for rather long time, but I'm still in doubt for some small things. Here they are: 1. The homedir value points to the place where everything for the user stored at, while mail_location is something (some place) where mail stored at. if I deal with pure virtual users (all users are in sql tables and no system homes for them at all), should I ever care for returning meaningful value for '...

Some empirical testing shows that if I am using the idmap_ad module the template homedir parameter in smb.conf is ignored. I would just like to determine if this is the correct behaviour or if I am doing something wrong. JAB. -- Jonathan A. Buzzard Email: jonathan (at) buzzard.me.uk Fife, United Kingdom.

Hi all, I could really use some hellp, first of all, a little short description of the scenario.. The company that I am trying to help out looks like this, PDC with NT4, this computer held both homedirs and profiles until 1-2 weeks ago. They where then transferrer to a new server running debian (woody) and samba 2.2.3a-6. This is my problem, IE is storing some cache-files in the homedir and with the homedir on the samba server I can't download any files, after some looking around I got into...

Dear group members. I work with Dovecot and Openldap authentication. Sometimes users change departments and we need to alter their homedir location. Every time this process is needed, I perform this steps: 1 - Change homedir location in openldap 2 - Move homedir folder to the new location 3 - Re-apply permissions 4 - Remove user index folder After I do that, users cannot authenticate unless I restart dovecot, process that I woul...

Hi, on HP-UX we want some users to have the same homedir. Homedir is managed by puppet as file resource. We now want to move the users to another primary group. useradd.sam complains: err: /User[XXX]/gid: change from 3 to 0 failed: Could not set gid on user[XXX]: Execution of ''/usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -F -g 0 XXX'' returned 45: Cann...
