I'm a bit confused on several points of the security infrastructure of Samba. First, and simplest, why (and is it necessary) do we need to keep a smbpasswd file when the Linux/Unix passwd file could be suffice? I like the idea of mapping particular users to a given UNIX account via the username map option, but I see no reason in specifying a separate password file for these same UNIX users.

I'm having some troubles with the winbindd. When trying to access a samba share, I receive the above error in the MACHINE_NAME.log file. I've ran the command smbpasswd -j MY_DOMAIN -r PDC -U Administrator, and it worked fine. wbinfo -u returns "Error looking up domain users", but I'm not sure if this is related to my 1st problem. I'm going to dump in my config files,

Hello, Installed the binary RPM (http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/redhat/RPMS/7.1/) for samba 2.2.2 on my redhat 7.1 server. I got winbind to work and my samba server is now using NT usernames and groups. I was very unsure about how modify the pam.d files. The only file I changed was the /etc/pam.d/samba file. I pulled this configuration from another mail post.

I am inquiring about setup of the SWAT utility I have installed Red Hat 7.0 with samba installed during the initial setup of Redhat. I have two network cards installed in my Server and I am connected to the internet via a Cable Modem. When I try to start SWAT netscape displays the message that it cannot find the local host on port 90. I have downloaded the book over samba and I have also tried to

Hello, Until yesterday (7 nov 03) I had a mostly working 2.27 samba running on my redhat 9 box that I configured via SWAT. Now I can not get back into SWAT & I also (in a useless attempt to make it work) upgraded to samba 3.0 I get the following when trying to start SWAT: An error occured while loading http://matrix1:901/: Could not connect to host matrix1 (port 901) here

Im running an accounting package (Sage Businessworks) and I'm running into issues with file locking with this program when I put the businessworks data files on a Samba file share.

Hi there I'm running a samba cvs server in a windows domain with a W2K PDC. I want to authenticate windows users through ssh. I'm able to login with a windows user to the server on the server himself but when I want to login via a windows client It doesn't work. The connection is refused. Could it be something mis configured in my ssh pam module. This is my pam ssh module PAM

The winbind now works...my getent passwd & groups returns the domain users/groups What should be the next step? my clients (Win2K & Win9x) are still prompting for a password and I cannot login to my linux box using DOMAIN*domainuser. Must I add each domain user as a user on the linux box? Regards Winston Nimchan -----Original Message----- From: Sean Trammell

I tried upgrading from samba 1.9 to 2.0 on two seperate RedHat servers, and after both upgrades nobody could get authenticated. The windows boxes had the registry hacks to turn off encrypted passwords, and I'm authenticating out of passwd+shadow. I found many similiar posts on DejaNews and in the samba mailing list archives. I broke out strace and found the problem. Samba 2.0 tries to

This might have been covered before and I've missed it. If so, sorry in advance. The file sshd.pam.generic didn't work for me on Linux RH6, I guess it's a Solaris file. Instead I copied the file /etc/pam.d/rlogin to /etc/pam.d/sshd . I wonder if this isn't a good way to go about things anyway, have an install target that does just that? Perhaps the rsh file is more appropriate

Hi, I have recently upgraded from OpenSSH-3.5 to OpenSSH-3.8 on my Red Hat 6.2 servers. I use radius (pam_radius_auth) for ssh authentication. Since the upgrade ssh1 (putty 0.52) logins are failing. I've come to the conclusion that pam is skipping the radius section of the config file and is falling back to standard unix authentication. Is there any way of making ssh1 work with radius on

We are using OpenSSH (portable) version 3.0.1p1 on Linux 2.2.14-10 with RedHat's distribution of PAM 0.72-20.6.x for rsync'ing RRDTool data between two machines (among other things). When running 'rsync -essh -avz', everything works fine but the system log on the sshd side shows: PAM_pwdb[8021]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> rrd for sshd service sshd[8021]: Accepted
