I have an interresting situation that I am searching for a solution. I want to use pam_smb for authenticating SSH connections to a remote server. The Domain Controller I want to authenticate against is a Win NT 4.0 box located on our internal lan. An idea was given to me to set up an SSH tunnel and forward the relative ports across the internet to a local machine. All of my machines ar...

Version 1.0 of my CIFS based NT authentication system for PAM is available from http://www.csn.ul.ie/~airlied/pam_smb/pam_smb-1.0.tar.gz or ftp://ftp.csn.ul.ie/pub/linux/pam/pam_smb/pam_smb-1.0.tar.gz This release has now gotten GNU configure support and should work reliably on Linux RH4.2, RH 5.0 and Solaris 2.6.... If anyone has another platform with PAM could they try it out ... It is also available on the s...

...from your setup, you don't have an existing Linux machine to copy accounts from, it shouldn't be too hard figure out a script to steal the user names from NT or any database that contains all your usernames. Otherwise, I guess you'll have to add everyone in by hand... 3.) Once you have pam_smb running, you can also change any existing users on the Samba box to authenticate through NT by deleting their hashed password in /etc/passwd and changing it to a "*". As the administrator, you will want to do this to your account for testing purposes, otherwise you will continue to authe...

In integration of Documentum Sever with Active Directory, the instructions point to pam_smb package version 1.9.8 that can be found on the Samba FTP site. How do I get pam_smb version 3.x? _________________________________________ Mehrdad Khoshand 8111 Gatehouse Rd. Falls Church, VA 22042 Phone: 703.289.2199 / Fax: 703-289-2995

Hello. On a FreeBSD 7 box of mine, I was using Samba 3.0.x as a password backend through pam_smb (http://www.skynet.ie/~airlied/pam_smb/). After an upgrad to 3.4.8/3.4.9, that stopped working. I see no evident reason for that and I'm really lost about where to start debugging. Is there any reason this should not work anymore? Any hint? bye & Thanks av.

I'm using SUSE linux 2.4.19-4GB samba-client-2.2.5-226 pam_smb-1.1.6-371 My goal is to configure a Linux desktop into a windows domain environment. So far I have managed to configure pam_smb to authenticate users to the PDC. So thats good. Now the problem is when user tries to browse a share. At the moment the users has to retype in their domain/userid passw...

Hi All, I would like to set up a samba server but using the same user / pass for unix logins and smb logins. This works fine if I use non-encrypted passwords but I have to apply the registry patch to set my win98 clients to use non-encrypted passwords. Could I use pam_smb to authenticate the Linux box against its own smb server then use encrypted smb passwords? I understand that if the smb is not running, unix users will not be able to log in but this will not be a problem. TIA Macky

Hello, In the third party software that we bought, which runs on Solaris 2.8 Server, we use the pam_smb version 1.9.8 to authenticate our users against the NT Domain. Now, our company is migrating from NT Domain to Windows 2000 ADS Domain in native mode. I saw the documention on SAMBA 3.0 (alpha 1-15), and it states that SAMBA 3.0 is compatible with ldap/ADS of Windows 2000. Have you created a p...

Is there a way to run sshd on a windows 2000 server and have ssh clients authenticate to it using domain level authentication? Mike

...d set up all Logins to Redhat (wether Gnome or KDE) to authenticate on the W2K corporate domain and recieve back a security access tolken so that I can have a unified logon point and then access shares or printer on any W2K computer in the domain that I have rights to access. I have considered the Pam_smb module but it only seems to query the W2K corporate domain for a successful username / password logon. However, that means anyone of the 2,000 members in our Corporate Domain could log on to our boxes instead of the group of 20 that I want to give access to. But inaddition to that... I don't th...

Hello, I am using Samba 2.2.7 running on Solaris 8. I have also configured pam_smb 1.1.6 to authenticate my user against my NT domain. I have a few problems though: 1) Every time I copy a file from my NT box to one of my Samba shares the owner is set to nobody, the only way I can change this is by logging in as root on the UNIX box and using 'chown'. What am I missin...

...4 domain. I have a samba test server with winbind working properly. All is going well, except that I am concerned about the winbind idmap database stored on the local linux workstations. My current understanding of winbind is that it must be on every machine, unless an winbind samba ldap backend/pam_smb combination is used. However, with the latter, all the features that winbind supports are lost since winbind is not running on the local machine (such as changing ones password) so I currently see no other way of implementing winbind. What will keep a user from reading /var/cache/samba/winbind_ca...

Although this would work, and would...

Several different PAM modules relating to Samba exist. The ones I could find were as follows: pam_smb http://www.csn.ul.ie/~airlied/pam_smb/ Authenticates against an NT domain controller, without joining the domain. (Doesn't work with Active Directory.) pam_ntdom http://www.cb1.com/~lkcl/pam-ntdom/ Based on the above, authenticates against an NT domain. Requires the client to be added to the...

...one on a Internet network the other is for the LAN. What I need is to get the XP/2K/4.0 systems to see the samba shares and us them based on the users and groups that are on the domain. This is a 2K AD Domain. I have performed the following: Setup the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Change the /etc/pam_smb.conf file. Changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. Changed the /etc/pam.d/system-auth and samba files. Set smb and winbindd to start with the system. Added the samba system to the domain using smbpasswd -j XXX -r XXX -U XXX%XXX. To test I did the following: Used smbclient -L (samba and domain serv...
