...o samba now - but having a heck of a time getting authentication to work. I'm running NIS+, configured samba with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. Does anyone have some good nis/samba references? I'm striking out. The smbpasswd file *does* have to become smbpasswd.org_dir for samba to work. I first created the smbpasswd file using niscat passwd.org_dir | mksmbpasswd.sh which created smbpasswd. I ran mknissmbpwdtbl.sh to make the nis+ table, then cat'd smbpasswd through mknissmbpasswd.sh to populate the nis+ table smbpasswd.org_dir. When I try to change passwo...

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from. However, it still can't find any users. Obviously, I'm missing a concept here. Any hints? Basically, I do not want to use a smbpasswd file (too much of a pain...

...: getsmbpwnam returned NULL [2000/06/29 12:33:35, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(408) Closing connections I'm pretty confused at this point. When it says "NIS+ lookup failure: Database for table does not exist" is it complaining it doesn't find my regular unix database (password.org_dir) - or do I have to make an NIS+ table for the smbpasswd file (smbpasswd.org_dir). I'm not finding much in the way of docs on this specifically. I need to get past this to get on with the rest of the connections and printing stuff. What are the scripts mknissmbpasswd.sh and mknissmbpwdtbl.sh i...

...update encrypted = Yes" set so that the current SMB encrypted passwords can be updated as people connect to file services over the next couple of weeks. I've used mknissmbpwdtbl.sh, and edited mknissmbpasswd.sh to change gcos to full_name and home to home_dir, then populated the smbpasswd.org_dir directory from passwd.org_dir using mknissmbpasswd.sh. The problem I now have is that when I run "smbpasswd username" to change a users encrypted password I get the following error message. tcsh> smbpasswd username New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ l...

Hi all, I know this has probably been spoke about before, but I'm looking for some documentation or other info on setting up NIS+ with samba.... I currently have samba running on the NIS+ master, but am having trouble setting up authentication again the NIS+ passwd tables. I'm also not exactly sure where smbpasswd comes into play with NIS+ and if I actually need to run that everytime I

...e latest CVS sources. Unfortunately, when compiling them --with-nisplus I got a linker error (with a slew of nisplus_initialize_* functions) and quickly gave up. Then I noticed in the CVS source's script directory there was a mknissmbpwdtbl.sh. After running it, I now have an empty smbpasswd.org_dir table. I thought this might fix my smbpasswd problem, but it didn't. I also ran the mknissmbpasswd.sh script, but it referenced some field called gcos that the table creation script didn't make. Since these sources were from CVS I didn't give too much thought -- CVS is broken a lot,...

...errors of "failing to add 'joeuser'". In going back to the source directory where I first installed Samba, I came across some "nis" scripts that look like they can be used to add users automatically to the smbpasswd file. First I ran mknissmbpasswd.sh: # niscat passwd.org_dir | ./mknissmbpasswd.sh > /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd smbpasswd.org_dir.asas.ast.lmco.com.: Not found. smbpasswd.org_dir.asas.ast.lmco.com.: Not found. smbpasswd.org_dir.asas.ast.lmco.com.: Not found. smbpasswd.org_dir.asas.ast.lmco.com.: Not found.

...thod and it failed so then I tried via SWAT and still received a message "Failed to add entry for user ....". Maybe "smbpasswd" is trying to look for the user's Unix account info. from the default /etc/passwd file. In NIS+, this is not used - what is used is the "passwd.org_dir' table. It appears that Samba and NIS+ are not talking to each other. Therefore my question is....is there a way of "pre-defining" where I want "smbpasswd" to pull this information? I understand that "nisplus" is no longer supported, but that is what I have to use...
