hi, does openssh have support for letting the user change his expired password? we are using password aging on solaris 6. our current build of openssh 2.5.2p2 asks for the password 3 times, then disconnects the user without allowing him to log in or change it. if not, are there any workarounds (other than root resetting the user's password manually). thanks, -jon -- Jon Nathan jon at

hello, i'm building a solaris package of openssh 2.5.1 for my employer. my configure string is this: ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/jon --with-xauth=/usr/openwin/bin/xauth --with-ipv4-default --with-tcp-wrappers --with-pid-dir=/etc --sysconfdir=/etc i use a prefix of /usr/share/jon , then build the system V package from there. most things work great, but somehow scp does not. it seems

Hello samba folks, I am thinking about how to upgrade my current file servers. I have a Network Appliance NAT (CIFS and NFS) that did not recognize the 2.X samba PDC (due to 2.x only partially supporting unicode). Unwilling to put in a native windows PDC, I threw in the towel, and deployed Windows native networking (WORKGROUP). (2 logins required, but simple). This small company of 15 uses

Hello, in our network we have AD (Win 2003) for user authentication under Windows and NIS (CentOS 5.2) for same under Linux: # rpm -qf /var/yp filesystem-2.4.0-1.el5.centos ypbind-1.19-8.el5 yp-tools-2.9-0.1 ypserv-2.19-3 I have written a CGI Script to add new users both to AD and NIS and also to create the home dirs at our NetApp-Filer. Unfortunately some steps still have to be made by hand

hello, i built an ssh 2.5.1p2 package for solaris. it's installed into /usr/local (with sysconfdir=/etc) on an administrative host with write access to /usr/local. other hosts nfs mount /usr/local. i had a script copy the following files generated from the package install into each host's /etc directory: primes ssh_prng_cmds sshd_config ssh_config then ran

Does winbind play well with NIS (or vice versa)? In my initial test, it doesn't seem that a machine that is running winbind will serve the user list over NIS to NIS clients. [ w2k3/ads ] --winbind--> [ Server 1 ] --NIS--> [ Server 2 ] I'd like to be able to authenticate connections (ssh/login) to Server 2 using the same logins as on Server 1 (samba) and the

I have a few C5 machines on an isolated LAN that connect to a RHEL5 server via NFS and NIS for authentication. I discovered that one of the C5 workstations worked fine for NFS exporting, but refused to collaborate with the EL5 server for NIS user authentication. I had successfully connected other systems to this server without issue, but this machine was finicky. I had initially enabled

We use NIS (ypbind) and Kerberos at work for all our Linux and Unix systems. Home directories are mounted via autofs from an NIS map. Everything works just fine as long as all network resources are available (however, things turn ugly when the NIS servers are not reachable). Some users also want to start using laptops and bring them home or on trips to continue working while not at

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

Hello - Is the following a configuration issue (which is usually the case) or a bug? I''m trying to ensure a local user is present in a NIS environment using the following recipie: class dduck_add { user { "dduckl": ensure => present, uid => 60030, gid => "100", groups =>

Hello all. You might understand by now that I''m experimenting with shorewall on my FC3 (kinda) system. It''s a two interfaced system, with the internet on eth0, net, and the local network on eth1, loc. the machine fw runs shorewall 2.0.10 right now. The thing is that I want to try to use NIS/YP on the local machines and have fw run the ypserv. Furthermore, I''d like

Hi, I'm trying to build an only Linux (RedHat 8.0) network. I've tried NIS(for centralised passwords) and NFS, seems to work OK. Sometimes my clients stop responding. I may be doing something wrong. I've just been told that all of this can be done with Samba. CEntralised User naes and passwords and homes. So that any user can logon from any linux workstation be validated by a server

Hello all! We are currently testing the implementation of a multi-use server at my work. I am working with a Windows 2003 RC2 domain controller, and a CentOS 5 NIS/NFS/Samba server. I've followed various how-to's and researched several errors during the past sixteen hours working on this but all things I try seem to come back with empty results. I

Hi All Some background first I have been asked to set up an environment involving three machines 1. A windows 2000 client 2. A Solaris 8 E450 / NIS client 3. An SGI IRIX fileserver/ NIS server holding user home directories The E450 NFS mounts the SGI and users have their home directories on the SGI. When users want to test their application software they ssh from their windows client into

Hi, Over the last few years, I've been using a rather bone-headed solution to implement centralized authentication and roamin user profiles in Linux-based networks: a combination of NIS and NFS. I'm aware it's not ideal in terms of security, but it's been running in our local school since 2010, and it just works. The current setup is based on Slackware Linux on both server

Hi all We have the following environement: Microsoft ADS for Windows Users, NIS for Un*x Users. Samba 3.x Fileservers. Win2k/XP Clients which use CIFS to connect to the Fileserver. FreeBSD/Linux Clients which use NFS to connect to the Fileserver. For the moment, Windows User authenticate against the ADS and Un*x users authenticate against a NIS Server. Everything runs fine. But we would like

My issue is permission denied. The setup is as follows. a) All the development dirs are mounted on Solaris-10/9 server b) Home Directories are mounted on a netapp filer c) All the /projects[0-5] and /home mounts are setup in automount, NIS master is Solaris d) Samba server is Linux, with winbind and kerberos; samba version is 3.3 e) Autmounter is running on samba server and can mount /home

I helped someone else with a crash in the same place (DH GEX) and was able to reproduce it. It was a caused by a problem in UltraSPARC assembler implementation of bn_sub_words(). Since it's in the assembler code, building

Hi, I'm using rsync (version 2.5.5 protocol version 26) on RedHat Linux 8.0: rsync -ae ssh /tmp/junk/ otherhost:/tmp/junk If I interrupt rsync (^C), sometimes rsync on the other host dumps core or uses all (!) available memory and all CPU. gdb on a core file: $ gdb -q /usr/bin/rsync /tmp/core.4576 (no debugging symbols found)... Core was generated by `/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender
