similar to: passwords and NIS+

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 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.

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 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

I would like t compile NIS+ support into SAMBA, but I am getthing an error. I am doing this: ./configure --with-nisplus and when I run make, I get these errors: Linking bin/smbd passdb/nispass.o: In function `make_sam_from_nisresult': passdb/nispass.o(.text+0x84f): undefined reference to `nis_sperrno' passdb/nispass.o: In function `nisp_get_nis_list':

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

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

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 ?

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

We have started to upgrade or Unix servers from Samba 2.0.7 to Samba 2.2.5. I did one machine as test and all worked fine. Today I tried adding two more today and both come up with the "Incorrect password or unknown username" box in Windows Explorer. All the Unix servers are running Solaris 7. I did the make on an NFS file system once and then ran 'make install' on each

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 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,

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

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. System is

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
