Hi, I've just installed Samba 2.0.3 and now I'm getting following error: PAM_pwdb[306]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> andreas for samba service I can connect to all shares and printers, but get the error. I suppose it has something to do with the passwords (I'm trying to sync Samba and Linux passwords). Any ideas? /Andreas

Hi there, I've got the following problem... I've read the domain.txt and tried to use roaming profiles. Hereby my smb.conf I've manually created a directory called /home/samba/profiles/paul (which is the user) When I log on I do not see any files in this directory.... WHat have I done wrong? # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 192.168.1.140 (192.168.1.140) # Date:

I've searched the archives for an answer to this problem, and yet nothing that works seems to have been posted. I've seen it posted many times In my particular case, I'm running Samba 2.0.6 on Solaris 2.5.1, configured with the --with-smbwrapper, --with-automount, and --with-syslog options. I also have samba set up as a PDC, and that seems to be working fine. A stripped down

I've got the following performance-problem. Especially large copies from the server to the client take a very long time to compleet. How can that be? Why is that so slow? Much slower than the same action from a Windows server. I use Redhat 6.0 / Samba 2.0.5a and Win95 as a client. Does anybody knows a good reference for optimizing a Samba Server?

Hi you Latin-American dansers, Does anyone has experience with the Policy Editor and Win95/Samba 2.0.6? I'd like to secure as much as possible for my users. The helpfile says something like put a .pol file in the netlogon share... but that didn't work. Or did I something wrong? Well, I don't want to invent the wheel again so I ask all of you... Can it be done and how? Paul Rijke

Hi, I have an auth module for PAM that I wrote a few years ago called pam_vsd.so. The idea is that a user must have a certain privilege before they can successfully authenticate. Without the privilege the PAM module will return PAM_PERM_DENIED. However I find that in OpenSSH 3.7.1p2, I can easily subvert this check simply by hitting return 3 times on connection i.e. [nick at localhost

I am appending some documentation by my colleague Bill Eldridge that was actually written for our dial-up service, but should work for you purposes as well. A couple notes. 1.)The user must exist in /etc/passwd on the Samba machine or login to the Samba box will fail. 2.)In the example, we don't set up home directories for the users, we are using it for dial in and they usually want to

Hi, i have a minor Problen with Samba 1.9.16p11 under RedHat 4.2 and samba 1.9.18 under RedHat 5.0.

Hi, I have recently upgraded from OpenSSH-3.5 to OpenSSH-3.8 on my Red Hat 6.2 servers. I use radius (pam_radius_auth) for ssh authentication. Since the upgrade ssh1 (putty 0.52) logins are failing. I've come to the conclusion that pam is skipping the radius section of the config file and is falling back to standard unix authentication. Is there any way of making ssh1 work with radius on

I just spent some time trying to figure out how to get OpenSSH to work correctly with NIS and PAM. It seems to work fine, apart from one minor worry I still have (see below). Feedback about grave security risks are welcome :) This is using RedHat 6.1 with updates and the OpenSSH 1.2.2p1-1 RPM's on the NIS server as well as the client. In short, my configuration is: /etc/nssswitch.conf:

Hi there I'm running a samba cvs server in a windows domain with a W2K PDC. I want to authenticate windows users through ssh. I'm able to login with a windows user to the server on the server himself but when I want to login via a windows client It doesn't work. The connection is refused. Could it be something mis configured in my ssh pam module. This is my pam ssh module PAM

We are using OpenSSH (portable) version 3.0.1p1 on Linux 2.2.14-10 with RedHat's distribution of PAM 0.72-20.6.x for rsync'ing RRDTool data between two machines (among other things). When running 'rsync -essh -avz', everything works fine but the system log on the sshd side shows: PAM_pwdb[8021]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> rrd for sshd service sshd[8021]: Accepted

I may be reading this wrong, but I'm trying to figure out why samba is sometimes trying to do a Unix password lookup to authenticate a samba connect. I have my samba passwords different than my Unix passwords. I'm using my own compiled version of Samba 1.9.18p10. I have an NT4 SP3 box and when I try to access a share through explorer on either of my two Linux boxes with encrypted

Hello. I have been trying to get Red Hat 9 workstations to authenticate via an NT 4 PDC. here is my /etc/pam.d/login file, auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok auth required /lib/security/pam_smb_auth.so nolocal account required

I tried upgrading from samba 1.9 to 2.0 on two seperate RedHat servers, and after both upgrades nobody could get authenticated. The windows boxes had the registry hacks to turn off encrypted passwords, and I'm authenticating out of passwd+shadow. I found many similiar posts on DejaNews and in the samba mailing list archives. I broke out strace and found the problem. Samba 2.0 tries to

Hello, Installed the binary RPM (http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/redhat/RPMS/7.1/) for samba 2.2.2 on my redhat 7.1 server. I got winbind to work and my samba server is now using NT usernames and groups. I was very unsure about how modify the pam.d files. The only file I changed was the /etc/pam.d/samba file. I pulled this configuration from another mail post.
