Hi all I'm actually trying to setup an AD authentication on linux workstations. - I've setup an windows AD 2003 server, which work fine. - I've setup linux redhat 4 enterprise server (used as a workstation for the moment) - On the redhat, I already have setup smb.conf, krb5.conf, nsswitch.conf, pam.d/login, pam.d/system_auth. I have pasted all these files below. ==> I get

Hi When I enable a box to do authentication using LDAP it breaks cron for users like jboss. I get the following in /var/log/secure Sep 14 15:25:01 exoipatest01 crond[7214]: pam_access(crond:account): access denied for user `jboss' from `cron' I have the following in /etc/ldap.conf nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,avahi,haldaemon,dbus,tomcat,radiusd,news,mailman,nscd,jboss

Greetings all, I'm working on attempting to get SAMBA to work with a product line called CryptoCard. I *should* be able to get it to work one of two ways, either through the use of CryptoCard's provided PAM module, or through RADIUS authentication. Currently, I cannot seem to get PAM authentication to work at all. This is what is in the 'samba' file for PAM: auth

I having been trouble by this for a few days now and was wondering if anyone else has had any luck with this? I am currently running Samba 2.2.6pre2 on FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE I have successfully set up samba to be the PDC I am unsuccessfully trying to change the passwords on the W2k box and I am recieving the error that the user name/password are incorrect make sure the caps lock is not on. When I

I've done everything stated in the various guidance to get a regular user to use virt-manager (graphical Virtual Machine Manager) under CentOS 5.4 with KVM. Placing the user in the kvm group and changing permissions on several files to include kvm has not worked...the user still needs to enter the root password to use the graphical VMM. I thought of pressing sudo into service for this task.

I have a laptop with fedora core 3 installed. I have an NT domain that I would like to use for all authentication (Linux and Windows). As a test I decided to focus on ssh authentication. I have completed the following: Created the smb.conf: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN_NAME server string = Linux Workstation log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = domain

Hello, I have been using Fedora Core, Samba, and Active Directory to provide authentication services for Windows based users for a few years now, but as an experiment I wanted to accomplish the same service with SUSE 9.3 . I have been able to get this configuration to run successfully with RH9, FC1, FC2, FC3, and FC4 (buggy but works), but with SUSE I have stalled a bit. I feel I have

I seem to recall that there is some special option to run X11 on <Alt-F2> On this ClearOS system, their console sits on the default console. You have to <Alt-F2> (etc.) to get a text login. Now that I have Xfce kind of installed, I want to see it on the system console, and I thought that just running startx would work. It doesn't. Got some errors. And then I remembered years

I read the docs and did the following: smbd, nmbd, winbind all running, also able to get domain user/group info. with "wbinfo". However still can't su, telnet to the linux box with my active directory user account on w2k. Am I missing something?

Hi, I'm trying to remove any limit on open files for a user; I've set username nofiles to unlimited in /etc/security/logins.conf, but now I get "could not open session" if I try to su to the user. singhh - nofile unlimited I think this is related to PAM, so I've modifed /etc/pam.d/su and /etc/pam.d/login to use pam_limits.so: # cat /etc/pam.d/su

Short version: Why does my domain member server create a sambaDomainName entry in LDAP? Long Version: I have created a Domain Member Server for a "NT4 style" Samba domain with an LDAP backend. It is a print server, running Winbind (because it solved a group SID mapping problem and an 'invalid SID' error in syslog), and it works fine in all other respects, but this: After

Hello, I am trying to keep my samba accounts in sync with my unix accounts. I want to login ssh. Syncing passwords works. Scenario: I create a new user: useradd -m testuser passwd testuser When I log in with the user pam_smbpass should create a corresponding samba user. I modified system-auth which is included in sshd: #### /etc/pam.d/system-auth auth requisite pam_unix.so

hi all, i'm setting up Dovecot on OSX to use PAM authentication against a flat_file/static userdb (tho i will _eventually_ mv to pgsql ...). iiuc, to do so i need something like: =================================== (EDITOR) /etc/pam.d/dovecot.imap auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/var/dovecot/imapusers onerr=fail =================================== for a userdb

Well, sometimes startx reboots my computer. Other times is does nothing except slow it to a halt for a while. Sometimes is locks up. I am using init level 3. At the command line, everything looks fine, and I can do whatever commands I want. When I type startx, then things go down the tubes. What doesn't happen: X never starts No error messages get posted to dmesg no log is generated in

The recently-left programmer did *something*, and he didn't know what, and the guy who picked it up is working with me to find out why /var/log/messages is getting flooded with Oct 26 11:01:06 <servername> kernel: type=1105 audit(1477494066.569:642430): pid=108551 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 msg='op=PAM:session_open

Thanks for the pointer! I played around with PamServiceName set to 'sshd_disable_auth' and got it working with the minimum contents below in the file /etc/pam.d/sshd_disable_auth. auth required pam_permit.so account required pam_permit.so session required pam_permit.so Thus, this does indeed enable disabling authentication. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, only root can create files
