Hello all, Can anyone please help out with configuring PAM? I've checked a couple of tutorials online.. though most of them are related to Login though I want to set PAM up for SSH logins... I've set the max erroneous logins to just THREE and even after trying to login with an error pass I still can get in... also is there a way I could enable the PAM module which uses crack library to

Hello, I would like to enforce some level of password complexity when users change their password. I have a Samba PDC running on Debian set to sync Unix passwords. I'm trying to get Samba to work with cracklib, but it isn't going well. Here is what I've tried: Installed libpam-cracklib, compiled examples/auth/crackcheck and copied the binary to /usr/local/sbin. I added the

Hi, I have some databases running on CentOS4 with users accessing the shell (bash), so I'd like to strong the security on my server in user's accounts and passwords.. I mean, enforcing strong passwords, min/max age passwords, locking passwords when you fail 3 times, and all this stuff. Is there any package which do this work? Any tutorial? Thanks in advance Regards Israel

CentOS-6.6 Is there any command line program that determines and reports what pam_cracklib.so returns for a given password; subject to variation in the command line options and values provided? For example, assuming a cli driver program called cli_driver_pgm: cli_driver_pgm pam_cracklib.so difok=8 minlen=14 dcredit=3 ucredit=3 lcredit=3 ocredit=3 minclass=2 maxrepeat=3 maxsequence=3

Okay - I've got samba working as a PDC with and ldap backend. I want to have some users not be in ldap (like the built in stuff like cyrus, mail, lp etc) I can get that to work with the pam_ldap and pam_unix but pam_smbpass doesn't seem to return user_unknown as i expect for users who are not in the ldap database does this make sense? --- pam_smb_passwd.c 12 Feb 2002 15:56:19

I just started getting this error on some machines after a yum update from centos 5.2 to centos 5.3. Does anyone know what it means?

Hi Everybody, maybe we are just too stupid, but for me it seems that there is some problem with holding passwords completely sync between *NIX-world and WIN-world when I use LDAP & Samba. If a user changes a password under Windows, with "passwd chat" the *NIX-Password (attribute: userPassword) can be changend very well besides the both Samba-LDAP-attributes lmPassword and

Does anyone online have an opinion on these? I've used 500/510/6001/601 models before. Need to know if these apparently lesser models can be provisioned in the same way. Are end uers happy with them?

List, I am unable to log into a terminal using Winbind service. I have the login file correctly modifyed and nsswitch too. I have the 2.2.5 version of SAMBA with the new winbind. SAMBA shares work great, so I think it is something else. I get this error in the messages log: Jul 9 11:46:01 alblinux sshd(pam_unix)[5463]: check pass; user unknown Jul 9 11:46:01 alblinux sshd(pam_unix)[5463]:

I am new to samba. I followed the docs on samba.com to configure samba as "domain member", security = domain, and to user winbind to authenticate users against windows 2003 AD. well, my question is the steps mentioned the use of PAM to do the authentications against the AD but it doesn't work - do I also need to configure kerberos for this type of installation?

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could lend a little assistance. I recently setup SAMBA/Winbind to allow users to login to a Redhat 8 box using their Windows NT Domain credentials. All is working well in that regard. The issue I am having is getting regular UNIX based users to be able to login. The following is my PAM configuration.
