Dear all, I have a problem synchronizing my Windows98 network password (i.e. samba password) with my Unix NIS+ password. The Unix station is running Solaris 2.6. This is a copy of what I have in smb.conf to enable password change: password level = 2 domain logons = yes logon script = %U.bat debug level = 100 encrypt passwords = yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd -r

Hi everyone, Let me briefly describe my setup. I work at a small university and we are setting up 3 labs. 2 are filled with Ultra Sparc 5's, and the 3rd will be filled with PCs running NT4 workstation. We have an Enterprise Server 3500 running NIS+ to authenticate the Unix labs (or rather we will, once I get it working), and I'd like to set up Samba to authenticate the NT labs using

Version of R: Windows Version 2.0.0 The experimental design contains two plant lines - a control (C) and a mutant (M) - grown out three separate times in plots A, B, C. The design is unbalanced: In plot A, 9 control plants were grown with 29 mutant plants. In plot B, 8 control plants were grown with 20 mutant plants. In plot C, 8 control plants were grown with 22 mutant plants. The

Hi all, using samba 2.2.5; security=server connecting as user1 (user logged in on PC) works (12:28:55), disconnecting and connecting as another user2 (not the user logged in on PC) works too (12:30:22), but disconnecting and connecting again as user1 (user logged in on PC) fails (12:34:29) as well as user2 (12:38:19). It seems it works only once and never again after one time logged in as user2 ?

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.

Hello, I'm new to samba. Trying to get it running on Solaris on Intel using NIS+. I configured it with the --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. I don't seem to be able to get authentication to work. I've created the smbpasswd file from my nis+ tables, set the perms per the docs (encryption.txt to name one) and when I try to run smbpasswd to set a password for

Thanks for the replies.... I am stuck on the second step of your list... I do not have a smbpasswd file, so I am not sure how I can create on... also, when I run smbpasswd (the executable) as root, I get the

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

Hi, The current method of hard coding at compile time which password database Samba is to use is a little inconvenient. The same binaries cannot be used for files/NIS+/LDAP. An extra samba.conf option eg. database files nis+ ldap could be used to give the databases allowed and the preferred search order. If the default was: database files then the compile options with_nisplus and with _ldap

Hi, I saw a similar question to this one in the samba list archives, but there was no answer so I'm going to ask it again. I'm running Samba 2.0.5a on Solaris 2.6 using NIS+, I've compiled it with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home. Samba is currently running using Plain Text passwords accessing the NIS+ database and I have "update encrypted = Yes" set so that the current

I am trying to get Samba working under Solaris 8 with NIS (not plus) on this. My NT machine and the Sun machine pass all of the diagnostics and I can see the exported drives but can't login. Everything seems fine and I have Samba working on my AIX machines. I compiled with NIS+ support even though I am using NIS and it did not work so then I compiled without support and same error. I am using

Hi, I have successfully installed Samba on a Solaris2.7 system and created the smbpasswd file using mksmbpasswd.sh Now I want to set passwords for all users. But when I try to run "smbpasswd" or "smbpasswd username" as root the following error message occurs: -------------- make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file... is NIS+ installed?

We just installed samba 2.0.3 and configured with swat. It seems great, but after try to use smbpasswd we get the following error: inis-11# smbpasswd -a frank New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file... is NIS+ installed? Segmentation Fault (core dumped) inis-11# This machine did not run NIS nor NIS+! It's an

Hello, I have 20 Solaris 2.6-servers with NIS+ in different cities and countries and a lot of NT4 servers in different domains and I use samba with nis+ support on the Solaris-enviroment to let the NT-users access their unix-home-directories. The NT-clients has to send their passwords in "clear-text" to access their directories. Their NT-username is the same as their Unix-username (the

We have the following fix that appears to work: In the source/nsswitch/wb_client.c file modify the winbind_initgroups function with the following change: change the call initgroups(user,gid) to setgroups(1,&gid) Any comments or perhaps a better fix? -----Original Message----- From: Slawinski, Robert [mailto:SlawinsR@ncr.disa.mil] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 10:16 AM To:

A small contribution :) I downloaded and installed 2.0.4b and compiled with NIS+ support since the fixed configuration for it was one of the new features. All worked fine, except that I found I couldn't change passwords. It turned out to be not a configuration error, but that some of the NIS+ routines hadn't been implemented yet. So I did that :) So far my mods seem to be working, but I

Is there a way to get Samba to validate users against the NIS (not NIS+) database. I've tried compiling with --with-nis but when I try to access a share I get this message in the samba log: [2002/11/26 16:25:08, 0] passdb/pdb_nisplus.c:make_sam_from_nisresult(460) NIS+ lookup failure: NIS+ service is unavailable or not installed It appears that it is still using NIS+ functions.
