similar to: NIS Authentication Help!

Hello fellow samba users, Our company uses samba for all fileshares/printing/PDC on two SUN E3500's. We like to replace these with about 10 Linux 19" XEON (pizza)boxes. The question: Are there any implementation out there using a loadbalancing cluster doing samba? A simple diagram of the setup I have in mind: Users (+/- 500) ||| Headnode(Director 1) - Headnode (Director 2) | Worknode -

Hello, I am in the process of trying to get a large network (300+ systems) spanning 3 subnets to be able to display all windows machines in the Network Neighborhood. After reading through copious amounts of documentation, using Samba as a domain controller and then having systems on each subnet seemed to be the best approach. I set one of the machines to be the domain controller for what was my

I'm wondering if it's possible to get samba to auth against LDAP without saving multiple hashes in the directory? I'd like to keep it to the hash that we use to auth unix-systems today, without cluttering the directory with other hashes that need to be synchronized etc. -- Odd Rune

Hello, I'm sorry to post High availability oriented questions to this list, but I was wondering about some samba configuration parameters and what options are available. I am using heartbeat, and to make a long story short, i have a floating IP alias between 2 servers. (192.168.1.1 for example). When one server is serving the data, it 'has' this ip. if the server fails over, the

Hi, I have some strange problems with 3.0a21 PDC (samba and nss use both ldap) and I can't find any good help with google... One strange thing is that logon script does'nt work anymore, it worked at one point and now doesnt (I quite play around here and I dont know in which point of changing smb.conf it stopped to work). [netlogon] share is like that: [netlogon] comment = Network

newbie question, but i can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I would like to set up a primary samba file server and a backup samba file server. if the primary file server fails i would like the backup server to take over as the main file server as automaticly as possible. was looking at rsync to backup primary server share files to the backup server, i think that might be part of the answer

Hello, I have a rather experimental question to ask. I know that under standard circumstances, that you cannot have multiple PDC for a single domain, as they will conflict with each other. I am dealing with a case of a school district, where there are multiple buildings.There are T-1s that tie together each of the buildings, then a bonded T-1 grants access to the internet through the main admin

I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers. Here's are some specs to consider: - 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data - multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server (preferably a linux system) - using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system) - need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full backup

I am using CentOS 5.7. I have an /etc/security/access.conf file which has the following: + : root : LOCAL + : @mynetgroup : ALL - : ALL : ALL I thought this is supposed to restrict access to the system to only root and the accounts in the mynetgroup netgroup; however, anyone NIS account is still able to login. It appears that the access.conf is being ignored completely, so I'm thinking

Hello, I added the support for netgroups to be used in the AllowUsers and DenyUsers parameters. This has some advantages: * hostnames or ip addresses need not to be written or maintained in the sshd_config file, but can be kept abstract names what also simplifies a bit largescale openssh installations * sshd_config needs not change and sshd be restarted when changing the list of allowed /

I've been copying old passwd/shadow/group files from system to system for ages across different distributions/updates and would like to get them back in sync with each other so the system tools will work. Now they hang like: #userdel irose hangs forever, syslog says: Jul 12 11:19:32 newftp userdel[30335]: delete user `irose' Jul 12 11:19:32 newftp userdel[30335]: delete `irose'

I'm trying to setup here at my school board an ADS domain member to Windows 2000 Server(s). I've setup Samba, configured nsswitch and /etc/krb5.conf. I'll be including them on this post. When I run << net join ADS -U<administrative_user>, I'm prompted for the password and I get this error message: [2006/01/12 15:21:35, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(191)

Hello; Sorry for the crosspost/repost, but I am getting desparate here. I am having difficulties setting up ssh (ossh4.3p2 - NIS -Solaris8/Sparc) to authenticate and allow ossh access based on NIS netgroup. So, users and/or host should be from a valid netgroup triple, contained within the ossh servers .rhosts, .shosts, hosts.equiv and/or shosts.equiv. I am having alot of trouble getting NIS

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212 ------- Additional Comments From Michael.Gerdts at alcatel.com 2002-04-11 00:33 ------- This patch also changes the behavior of ssh-keyscan when a hostname does not resolve. I have changed the condition from fatal() to error() so that the scan does not quit when it runs across a bad hostname. ------- You are receiving this mail because:

For systems where the local hostname is obtained as a short name without domain, there should be a ssh_config option "DefaultDomain" as in ssh-3.x from ssh.com. For the server, there might be a corresponding option in order to strip the domain name from the remote client name (if it matches the server's DefaultDomain) for use in auth_rhost2, since netgroups usually contain short

Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or

I am having no luck getting NIS to work on a clean install of CentOS 6. It seems to be an issue with ypbind. I have simple /etc/yp.conf which explicitly sets the server domain myDomain server myServer The service seems to start okay #service ypbind start Starting NIS service: [OK] Binding NIS service: ? [OK] But when I try to use any of the yp services, like ypwhich #ypwhich ypwhich:

Hi All I just installed samba 3.0 with the --with-netgroup-support option. I was under the impression this would allow me to connect to my unix system using NIS authentication. I am using the unix system for just file sharing. I think I am missing something. Below is my smb.conf. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Also the windows guys have implement active directory but I want the

Hi, I''m trying to enable ssh (when that works, want to add:pop3s,smtp,web) from the internet to the firewall but it does not work.
