similar to: Dovecot & pam_mkhomedir

Hi there, This is probably a dumb question, so my apologies, but I've set up WinBind on my my Samba box & it seems to be authenticating against the domain, however new user accounts do not seem to be added. `wbinfo -u` returns a list of the users on the domain and I seem to have setup my IMAP server correctly to authenticate against that (using PAM), as I see the following in

Hi there, It's my understanding that shared folders can be implemented in the Dovecot IMAP server by simply symlinking one maildir to another, eg: $ ls -lan /home/DOMAIN/ned/.maildir/ total 40 drwx------ 9 10012 10000 440 Jan 9 04:23 . drwxr-xr-x 3 10012 10000 160 Jan 6 06:32 .. drwx------ 5 10012 10000 264 Jan 9 04:21 .Deleted Items drwx------ 5 10012 10000 232 Jan 6

I have a problem creating homedirs on the fly. Since RHEL5 / CentOS5 you have to use pam_oddjob_mkhomedir instead of pam_mkhomedir. Everything is working (the homedir is created) but two things. First on every logon I get the following error message, and I don't know how to fix it: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.redhat.oddjob was not provided by any .service files

Sambains, I gotta samba setup where I use pam_mkhomedir.so to create home dir for first time users. Same configuration is working on many hosts and if I create a home directory manually, I can login, but not on fly. And also when I change the /home permission to 777, its creating home directory for new users on fly. When strace a su session, I getting the following error. My guess is the module

On a ldap enabled CentOS 6.3 x64 system, I try to make it so home directories are auto-created. I added this : session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0077 to my /etc/pam.d/system-auth And it does nothing. I restarted messagebus (I've seen references to that) and sshd, and logs don't mention anything in regards to pam_mkhomedir... Any hints ?

Hi! I?m using windbind to authenticate an NT domain users. It works well, however when an user logs, it can use upper o lowercase letters, and that is ok. But pam_mkhomedir creates diferent case sensitive home dirs each time, even if shell prompt shows the name the propper way. Has anyone dealed with this issue ?. What is the best solution?. Thanks in advance !

Hello Samba People, I'm doing some tests with samba on a debian Sarge in order to implement a file server with the recycle bin module, so my smb.conf loks like this : [global] workgroup = HOME server string = %h server (Samba %v) preferred master = no realm = home.local security = ADS encrypt passwords = true password server = 192.168.0.15 socket options = TCP_NODELAY #

where and how can i call this module ? is it in /etc/pam.d ? how is the sintax ? i'm a suse linux user.. thanx !

I hit a small snag using Dovecot-imapd smoothly in my environment with maildir and most of my accounts in LDAP. Since the accounts are created through a web interface on another server home directories on the mail server don't get created automatically. There's the handy pam module pam_mkhomedir.so to automagically create home directories, but unfortunatly Dovecot wasn't calling

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I'm on the way to implement samba with ldap on five servers (each owns a different nt-domain) and a master server which maintains the central user database which gets replicated to all the other servers. Now I have just one more problem, namely homedirs. I want every user to have a homedir to store for example his profile. This has to

Dear list, How do I test whether I have access to my winbind LDAP backend from my Solaris 9 machine? My LDAP database is held on a Redhat 9.0 machine also running Samba 3.0.0. I know winbind works because getent and wbinfo show up my NT users and groups. I would also like to have people log into my Solaris 9 machine with their NT usernames, I have this working on Redhat already but Solaris is

I see a ton of past archive mails for pam_mkhomedir.so, but I don't see anyone else with my problem. Do others just not care that a bunch of extra folders with the machine names are getting created, or is it not happening for anyone else, and I have just done something wrong?

Okay, I've got it partially working. Will that module also do it from a non-*nix login? For instance, say the user will more than likely never log into that server from a telnet session. Where would I put the following line: session required /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel I'm running RedHat 7.3. In the /etc/pam.d directory, there are a bunch of different files.

I'm trying to set up a temporary mailserver using Debian Sarge and Dovecot 1.0 with maildir format. My only previous experience has been on a simple imap server. I have read the wiki documentation and searched the archives, but can't tie down my problem. The log tells me Info: passwd-file(anne) : unknown user. I have set auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd auth_passdb =

Hello all, I have a functional samba/windind file server (SLES 10) thats a member server of an Active Directory domain. I'm able to successfully resolve user and group accounts from AD. The problem I'm having is samba isn't creating home directories automatically when I try to map to a AD user share from Win XP. What I am able to do is, when I ssh into the machine with an AD user,

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has successfully managed to configure pam_mkhomedir and dovecot, so that users home directories are automatically created? As far as I can tell, the login process runs as a non-root user, which results in a permission denied error while trying to create the users home directory. I'm not sure if this error is specific to dovecot or pam though. Any thoughts

Hi, I've been succesfully connecting my SuSE Linux (since version 9.0) to my organization's NT domain using Samba's Winbind. The thing is multiple users use my PC, not only myself. Though it was also necessary to setup my pam.d to automatically create their home folders at first logon (using pam_mkhomedir.so). My NT user is something like "jdoe" but there are some users
