similar to: Samba as PDC and PAM authentication

Hello, I have recently started learning RoR. I think it''s _fantastic_. I am absolutely blown away. OK, this is to prepare you to my idiotic question. Hopefully, I won''t be stoned. I am designing a simple application, where users can register, and: * Publish a photo album * Publish a simple blog with comments * Determine their list of friends and foes The application will

Hi, I'm having a problem with ssh-keygen on Solaris 8; upon running, it produces a bus error due to a function call in OpenSSL (RC4_set_key): [...] (gdb) where #0 0x3440c in RC4_set_key () #1 0x2b890 in arc4random_stir () at /merc/tools/src/openssh-2.3.0p1/bsd-arc4random.c:65 #2 0x23ca8 in main (ac=1, av=0xffbefb94) at /merc/tools/src/openssh-2.3.0p1/ssh-keygen.c:720 I get

Hello! As I read in samba-docs, samba-3.0.0 cannot be ADC. But I have unix kerberos domain and I want for simplicity, that samba PDC perform user's authentication in kerberos. There is not to propagate any kerberos principals to windows, but simply PDC perform user's authentication in kerberos and store all needed account information in openldap. Is it possible with samba 3.0.0?

Dear all, I am trying to project my LongLat-maps to a plane. The ultimate purpose is to do a search of points in vicinity of other points using overlay-commands (sp) with radius in km. I am applying spTransform (package rgdal) and it gives my some curious results. An example. Let's take a point lying somewhere in Germany, zone=32U x <- 8.968735 y <- 49.454735 After conversion I

I need to allow [read] access to a Samba server using both IP filtering & UserIDs . For a given list of IP subnets, any user should have access. Outside these 'trusted' subnets, I need to do User authentication. I can handle the User authentication OK in several ways. However, I don't see any way to do the 'short circuit' allow for some IPs, then use User authentication

According to the documentation on setting up Samba to be a PDC. It says that you have to enable encrypted passwords for it to work! Now for Samba with PAM to work the documentation says that you can't have encrypted passwords enabled! So does that mean that I can't set up Samba has a PDC and use PAM to authenticate the users! Reason I ask is I did have Samba set up as a PDC with 3

Hi all, I would like to grant access to other services (i.e. POP3) to the users already authenticated by SAMBA (trying to mimic a true NT Domain). The logical step would be to employ PAM but I don't have any clue. POP3 and SAMBA (PDC) are running on the same machine Could you point me to the right direction? Has anybody did this before? Thank you, Cristian Grigoriu

So here is the setup now: pam worknig, ldap working, samba working, passwd sync works great both ways (linux accounts > win accouns; win > lin). I'm useing another domain name for the new pdc. Today i tried to migtrate all the accounts from the Win2k PDC and i got into problems. I changed in smb.conf the domain name to the one of the win PDC , joind my samba intro the domain and did a

Hello, I have a bit of a problem - I have the feeling the solution is ridicolously trivial, and yet I can't find it! I have a remote repository of text files. Until today, I was the only one changing those files: I would simply change them locally, and update the remote repository with this command: cd local_dir rsync --delete -e ssh -Llavuz . merc@remote_server:remote_directory

Hello People, I have a possibly very lame question. I am fairly new to RoR, and I want to make sure I do it "right". I have a model called Invoice, and one called InvoiceLines. Usual story: the table "invoice" has a 1:n relationship with "invoice_lines", which includes invoice_id. Now... the application will have a "new order" button, which will allow

i tried in the smb.conf [global] unyx password sinc = yes pam password change = yes obey pam restrictions = yes and have compiled samba with pam support (im using redhat 7.2 and samba 2.2.2 rpm version from ftp.samba.org for redhat) if i logon in my linux box (telnet or ssh) with user xxx i have a message displayed "Warning you password expire in xx (5) days" if i put in /etc/shadow the

Hi All, I've tried everything I can think of, and spent many many hours trying to get this Sun Solaris 8 machine to authenticate with a Linux 7.1 machine acting as the PDC. In summary: Both machines are running 2.2.3a compiled from source without additional arguments (just ran configure on each platform) No problems with Win95, Win98, WinNT authenticating with the Linux PDC. The Sun machine

Hello, First of all, I love RoR. I am studying it, and I am finally "getting there". However, I do have a bit of a problem with ActiveRecord''s saving behaviour. Imagine to have Orders (id, name) {has_one:invoice} and Invoices (id, order_id) {belongs_to :order} . If you type: invoice = Invoice.new(...whatever...) an_order.invoice = invoice if invoice fails to save, you

Hello, It''s pretty hard giving a practical example on this one. I have a partial which contains some generated Javascript. Something like: order_screen.rhtml ------------------------------------------- <h1>Order</h1> <div id="order_part"> <%=render :partial=>''order_new'' %> </div> <h1>Ordered products</h1>

Hello everybody, I?m using Red Hat 7.3 with Samba setup as a PDC, and I?m having a doubt. I am studying the directive "obey pam restrictions" because I would like to limit the number of logins with the same id. The documentation provided by SWAT tells me that encrypted passwords (like used by Windows98SE) will NOT follow these restrictions. Anybody could tell me if this information is

Hello, I have a question for you. In my application, I want to make sure that the database doesn''t have any NULLs in fields. I can''t use validates_presence_of, because it will puke if there''s an empty string ("") So... is there an EASY way to check if a list of fields is null? Right now, I''m doing: def validate() [...]

Hello all, I currently have the following setup working nicely: A Samba PDC, with LDAP-SAM, syncs passwords between LDAP and Samba (and /etc/shadow when appropriate) correctly - either when changing them through Samba (samba has PAM support enabled and working) or through normal Unix mechanisms (/usr/bin/passwd, using pam_smbpass, pam_ldap, etc.). Several other Linux machines, running Samba,

I have 3.0.2a (with about 75 machines/users) installed as a PDC for my Win2k users and found an oddity. (waiting for a bin version of 3.0.3 for RH8.0) All was fine before I left 2.2.8.... But now when users hit <CTL>-<ALT>-<DEL> and change the password, they get "domain not available". When they log in, they get the logon scripts to execute, and anything else I do to

Basically, this is going to be just a question to see if what I want to do can be done, since I have had no luck in doing it so far... I have set up a 2.2.3a domain controller, and I can join Windows XP clients to the domain, and log in as domain users. I want to use PAM to enforce account restrictions, such as login time using pam_time. I currently have the *stacked* version of the
