After some days, here is my personal cookbook for Samba in Solaris. I needed to share a folder in my Solaris server, but using my Windows Active Directory Account. Here are my proccess, if it can help to anyone or if anyone can make corrections or suggestions. Thx. Personal Cookbook for Samba. Objective: To enable a Unix server for share folders for Microsoft Windows machines with

I'm using SUSE linux 2.4.19-4GB samba-client-2.2.5-226 pam_smb-1.1.6-371 My goal is to configure a Linux desktop into a windows domain environment. So far I have managed to configure pam_smb to authenticate users to the PDC. So thats good. Now the problem is when user tries to browse a share. At the moment the users has to retype in their domain/userid password every time they access a

Hello, In the third party software that we bought, which runs on Solaris 2.8 Server, we use the pam_smb version 1.9.8 to authenticate our users against the NT Domain. Now, our company is migrating from NT Domain to Windows 2000 ADS Domain in native mode. I saw the documention on SAMBA 3.0 (alpha 1-15), and it states that SAMBA 3.0 is compatible with ldap/ADS of Windows 2000. Have you created

We have recently upgraded to : samba-3.0.21 openssl-0.9.7g krb5-1.4.3 openldap-2.3.11 db-4.4.16 cyrus-sasl-2.1.21 m4-1.4.4flex-2.5.31 autoconf-2.59 libiconv-1.9.1 gcc-3.4.2 bison-2.1 automake-1.9 libtool-1.5.22 and have got samba authenticating against our 2003 AD servers, however we now discovered that someone has setup xdm to use pam authentication to the old NT4 domain using xdm.pam and

Thanks for any information and your time!!! I have been working on getting my samba 2.2.5 server to work with my 2K domain in (native mode). Setup is on a RH 7.3 system with two NIC's one on a Internet network the other is for the LAN. What I need is to get the XP/2K/4.0 systems to see the samba shares and us them based on the users and groups that are on the domain. This is a 2K AD

Hi All, I would like to set up a samba server but using the same user / pass for unix logins and smb logins. This works fine if I use non-encrypted passwords but I have to apply the registry patch to set my win98 clients to use non-encrypted passwords. Could I use pam_smb to authenticate the Linux box against its own smb server then use encrypted smb passwords? I understand that if the smb

hi all, am trying to get samba 2.2.7a to compile on redhat 7.2 running ./configure --with-winbind --with-smbmount --with-pam --with-pam_smb I get this error checking configure summary... configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config when running just --with-winbind the configure finished no probs Thanks Pete

Dear all! Ive got a problem with rsync on a w2k machine! I run this rsync -r "\\c/UTILS/" "unixmachine:/home/myuser" The message I get from the machine is unixmachine: remshd: Login incorrect. rsh.exe: can't establish connection read error: Connection reset by peer The rsh command works fine with the actual configuration eg. rsh unixmachine -l myuser ls

I am currently working on implementing unified logons between linux and win computers on an NT4 domain. I have a samba test server with winbind working properly. All is going well, except that I am concerned about the winbind idmap database stored on the local linux workstations. My current understanding of winbind is that it must be on every machine, unless an winbind samba ldap

Hello, I am currently integrating 20 workstations and 5 Servers (all Dell Products) running Red Hat 7.2 (2.4.7-10) into a Windows 2000 / NT Enterprise network of about 2,000 users. I have been using a Samba server (version 2.2.1) with "security=domain" so that any user with a W2K domain logon can access the Samba file server. However, I want to move into full integration and set up all

I just recently upgraded to opensuse 11.4. basic smbd is running mostly fine (some name res-errors, login server missing, (can't connect to Domain service). Notably nmbd won't start due to undefined symbols: /usr/sbin/nmbd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/nmbd: undefined symbol: _talloc_realloc_array. ldd -r shows a bunch of similar undefined symbols (shown further below). my samba rpm

In the interest of not having password divergence between NT and unix I've got everything authenticating against and ldap database. samba password updates are not a problem - i just use the unix password syncing features. however the other direction is proving to be a problem. I can rig pam to update both passwords with pam_ldap and pam_smbpass on machines that run samba. On some machines I

hello: i am fairly new to samba and i read some of the documentation and i have a book on bamba, but somehow i can't figure the following two things out: (i have the precompiled redhat 6.0 version of samba) 1. i simply want to authenticate a user with his/her unix account password. i do not want to use the sama user or password file, since i cannot keep track of the changes. 2. i want to

OK. This is becoming very frustrating!! I have Samba 2.2.3a installed on a Sun running Solaris 8. Winbind is installed and seems to be working fine. My PC users can map the Samba share via their NT domain account information (PDC is an NT4 box). As soon as I copy nsswitch/libnss_winbind.so to /lib and create the symbolic links (nss_winbind.so.1 & nss_winbind.so.2) my PC users can no

Hello all. First, a little background... I recently downloaded samba-*-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk , installed on Mandrake 8.2 and got everything working fine. I have LDAP installed for "single sign-on" support. I can use LDAP to authenticate other Linux boxes, and have Samba as a PDC for some Win2000 boxes - all working fine. Linux users are the same as PDC users, except for their passwords

I have an interresting situation that I am searching for a solution. I want to use pam_smb for authenticating SSH connections to a remote server. The Domain Controller I want to authenticate against is a Win NT 4.0 box located on our internal lan. An idea was given to me to set up an SSH tunnel and forward the relative ports across the internet to a local machine. All of my machines are RedHat

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

Version 1.0 of my CIFS based NT authentication system for PAM is available from http://www.csn.ul.ie/~airlied/pam_smb/pam_smb-1.0.tar.gz or ftp://ftp.csn.ul.ie/pub/linux/pam/pam_smb/pam_smb-1.0.tar.gz This release has now gotten GNU configure support and should work reliably on Linux RH4.2, RH 5.0 and Solaris 2.6.... If anyone has another platform with PAM could they try it out ... It is also

I'm trying to config a Linux box to integrate into a windows network using pam_smb and samba. Ive set it up so that using pam_smb I can get the user to log onto the linux desktop with their NT id and password. The only problem is once the user is logged on they need to be able to access shared resources disk, printers etc... without the need to reauthenticate to the domain, i.e. use a cache
