similar to: Samba 2.2.7 and NIS

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 ?

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

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

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

samba-technical is *not* a user-support list, no matter what you may think you read on the web pages.... Please post questions to <samba@samba.org> in the future.

We are currently running Samba in a security=share mode, I would like to switch this to have samba be a PDC and use domain authentication. Anyone out there combined the following successfully? Linux Redhat 7.x NIS master and PDC, using NIS as authentication for PDC/Windows? I have seen several things on just having an samba PDC but I would like to keep using our NIS as it's used for many

Okay, I'm at wit's end, and am about ready to give up on Samba 3.x as a way to implement single sign-on. I would like to know if there's anyone out there who has the following environment: - Solaris 8 and 9, running NIS (not NIS+) for automount and passwd/group maps - W2K-based Active Directory I'm trying to get Solaris authentication to work using AD user accounts. According to

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':

We have a network with Windows NT/2000, SGI's, Linux, Macintosh, AIX. Our user account/passwords for all our machines is handled by NIS on an AIX machine. Our unix machines autheticate through NIS. Our windows machines authenticate by loging on to an NT server acting as the PDC, and that PDC has a service installed on it called "WinDD NIS" (made by Tektronix I think) which contacts

How can I tell if I am using NIS+? I would like the data to be encrypted on the lan. -Jason -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Sr. Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333

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

Sorry if this is an old problem. I have just installed 1.9.18p10 - the latest version. I noticed the nis homedir option in the config file, but have not had much luck in implementing it. I had hoped it would mean my [homes] shares would map to the correct server - the one which physically carries a users home directory - regardless of the machine to which the connection attempt was made. My

Per http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch12.html ... That is "Chapter 12.

Under the section "Troubleshooting Name Services/Identifying what's in use" it says, "First, see if both the server and the client are using

Hi Guys, I have posted this subject long time ago but this problem still persistently happens on my linux+pdc server.

Normally if you open teminal window it should be like " [root@myserver /]" but sometime
