similar to: NIS+ support in samba....

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

I just installed Samba for the first time. Installed and setup like a dream. Unfortunately, I can't login to save my life. The server appears in the Net. Neighborhood, but when I double-click to login, the login window give the following message: Incorrect password or unknown username for \\SERVERNAME Entering a username and password (from /etc/passwd) returns: \\SERVERNAME is not

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.

I'm a little less new to samba now - but having a heck of a time getting authentication to work. I'm running NIS+, configured samba with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. Does anyone have some good nis/samba references? I'm striking out. The smbpasswd file *does* have to become smbpasswd.org_dir for samba to work. I first created the smbpasswd file using

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

Hi all, Quick question, is it possible to take an existing /etc/passwd file and run it through mksmbpasswd.sh (or some other script) to update a smbpasswd file? I am asking this because everytime we change a password or add or delete usernames on a machine, it would seem we have to do the same thing to change th samba password file, and I'm hopeing there is an easier way..... thanks, jeff

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, 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

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

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

Hello, When I compile Samba version 2.0.6 in Solaris Sparc 2.6 with gcc 2.8.1, I obtain the next error: make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 303: Unexpected command seen why? Note: I use the file Makefile by default. Thanks. _/\________________________________ Dominic Saindon System administrator

Hi all, I'm a little confused over what exactly the NISPLUS and NISPLUS_HOME support options actually mean. I'm hoping somebody can shed a little light on this. Our main samba server is a Solaris 2.7 machine (using NIS+ for passwords, etc, etc.) running samba 2.0.5a. I have recently been investigating a problem where, after a reboot of the server, various 3rd party products (POP, IMAP,

You get this kind of stuff by default with roaming profiles.( ie user.dat or ntuser.dat ) If you are referring to netscape 4 then just point the profile to the home directory (mapped to a consistent drive

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'm curious if anyone has suggestions about a problem we have encountered. We have recently upgraded a 2.2.8a server to 3.0.23. The server in question is running Solaris 8 with NIS+. Storage is from our SAN. Since the migration, we have found that we no longer have access to several shares. They are connected, but we are unable to get to them. Samba will indicate that we are connected to

Hello, I am having a very aggrivating problem, and I will try and provide all of the necessary information. I have openssh-3.7.1p2 with openssl-0.9.6k installed on Solaris 8. Here is what I've been able to determine so far: 1. Local account authentication works fine (non-NIS+). 1a. NIS+ is running at security level 2 2. Telnet authentication works fine. 2a. When I use the SSH client,

To get around the problem of having to change the root password every time a sys admin leaves the organization Solaris is hardened as follows. in /etc/default login. CONSOLE= Restricted permissions on su so only certain groups can run it. That way its really difficult to log in as root even if the root password is known. For OpenSSH PermitRootLogin is set to without-password and a key is

Has anyone noticed that there appears to be a few problems with regards to Samba and in particular the usage of smbclient, which can do one of the following : 1) Complete & udder death of the NT networking subsystem (which requires a reboot to cure) 2) smbclient appears to lose its connection with the host being contacted and eventually needs to be killed. I'm not too sure how
