similar to: Samba and NIS+ (lengthy desperate plea)

I posted a message about a week ago concerning my ongoing battles with NetWkstaUserLogon (aka networkstation user login). I would be very grateful for answers to ANY of my questions... We have 1.9.18p4 on Solaris 2.6. We are doing pass-through authentication (security=server, password server = <NT PDC>). It will allow administrators to login, map drives, etc. etc. However, non

Hey Y'all, I've been trying for months to get samba to share my printer with my wife's Win XP machine. I've RTFM, and spent hours on google to no avail. I can't see the printer from Windows so I can't mount it up. Nothing appears in the logs. The file shares work just fine. It looks like I've got Samba 3.6.9 on this machine: [mlapier at mushroom samba]$ rpm -qa

What is the best way to handle lengthy operations with Rails (lengthy in this case could be a minute or even more)? I want to give response to the user about what is happening so I guess polling the server with ajax is one way to get data to the browser. But what do I do with the lengthy operation? I mean, the best as I see it would be to make the first request (the one that triggers the

Colleagues, Several days ago, I wrote to the list about a lengthy delay in startup of a a script. I will start with a brief summary of that email. I have a 10,000 line script of which the final 3000 lines constitute a function. The script contains time-markers (cat(date()) to that I can determine how fast it was read. When I invoke the script from the OS ("R --slave <

Colleagues, I have a script that contains ~ 10,000 lines of code. Most of it is written as small functions. However, for various reasons, the final function is ~1500 lines of code. I realize that this may not be optimal but the code evolved that way and breaking it into smaller pieces is complicated because of the passing of arguments. I have "cat(date())" statements at

Yeah, this is a bit lengthy, but it's a vexing problem. First, I'm working on learning R, mainly by using it and coming more from a programming aspect (I have the books and have gone through them, but learn best by doing). I have multiple projects going where R is almost necessary. I learned C a few years ago, but am very rusty with it (and other languages back in the 70s). I also

Hi, I'm trying to make sshd perform a keylogin on a Solaris 7 NIS+ client with PAM. ssh connects and works fine but keyserv reports that it `can't encrypt the session key'. So I think the keylogin failed or did not happen when the user started an ssh session. The following message is logged in syslog. >sshd[489]: pam_setcred: error Permission denied >sshd[506]:

Hi all, When we installed OpenSSH 3.7.1p2, we could no longer ssh into the root account. The following message would appear in the syslog.log: Oct 8 19:20:38 myhost sshd[22179]: User root not allowed because account is locked We use NIS+ under HP-UX 11.00. We have very recently changed the root password. To change the root password under NIS+ we do the following: # passed # chkey -p #

I've been scouring the web and have picked up bits and pieces, but nothing concrete on this issue. I currently have a samba server that is set up to use NIS from another server. What I'd like to do is either a) convert the ypcat password list into a smbpasswd file or b) just use smbpasswd to create entries for a few users. In other words, I want the smbpasswd file to provide passwords

First off, we are forced to using said versions and NIS+, so no flaming on those issues please. Also, the samba version we recieved was forced upon us and we are not allowed to recompile, however in a test environment we've compiled both with and without NIS+ support and the same errors are generated. When removing nisplus from group entry of nsswitch.conf samba works fine. With nisplus

In wbclient.c the call that causes signal 11 is the call to initgroups in the winbind_initgroups function. -----Original Message----- First off, we are forced to using said versions and NIS+, so no flaming on those issues please.

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

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

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
