similar to: winbind and NIS+NFS

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

I have a few C5 machines on an isolated LAN that connect to a RHEL5 server via NFS and NIS for authentication. I discovered that one of the C5 workstations worked fine for NFS exporting, but refused to collaborate with the EL5 server for NIS user authentication. I had successfully connected other systems to this server without issue, but this machine was finicky. I had initially enabled

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

Hi All Some background first I have been asked to set up an environment involving three machines 1. A windows 2000 client 2. A Solaris 8 E450 / NIS client 3. An SGI IRIX fileserver/ NIS server holding user home directories The E450 NFS mounts the SGI and users have their home directories on the SGI. When users want to test their application software they ssh from their windows client into

Hello all. You might understand by now that I''m experimenting with shorewall on my FC3 (kinda) system. It''s a two interfaced system, with the internet on eth0, net, and the local network on eth1, loc. the machine fw runs shorewall 2.0.10 right now. The thing is that I want to try to use NIS/YP on the local machines and have fw run the ypserv. Furthermore, I''d like

Greetings! I tried to post this question to openldap group but somehow my post never showed up there. Anyway, I built PDC using Samba3 and OPENLDAP and now like to integrade NIS service to it. I searched the net there are quite a few guides on how to replace NIS with LDAP. However, in our environment, we have almost all sorts of Unix platforms, e.g. Linux (mainly Redhat), Solaris, HPUX, AIX,

I normally try not to ask questions until I have done as much research as possible, and again, this is the case... Just after I thought I had my RH5 samba/nis server working fine, I come across the inability to update nis passwords. >From the server as root: passwd guest1 Changing password for user guest1. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: NIS password could not be changed.

Hello, I need help - 1. What should be the configuration of nsswitch.conf file when I want to make a Unix box both PDC (by configuring Samba as PDC) as well a NIS server. 2. what should be the value of following parameters in nsswitch.conf file? a) passwd = nis files group = nis files or b) passwd = nis [NOTFOUND=return] files group = nis [NOTFOUND=return]

Hi, I'm trying to integrate a linux-network with a Nt-network. My PDC is Nt, so i got a linuxbox running a samba+winbind and it's running perfect. Now i got another linuxbox and installed a nis client and put the nis server in the samba server, only that the nis client doesn't see the Nt users. My question is: Is there a way that i can get to my nis client see the Nt users (via

The company where I work is mostly a Windows shop, but I run a few CentOS servers and desktops. I have configured my systems as follows with Kickstart: authconfig --enablemd5 --passalgo=sha512 --enablenis --nisdomain=XXX \ --nisserver=nis1.XXX.com,nis2.XXX.com --useshadow --enablekrb5 \ --krb5realm=XXX.COM --krb5kdc=ldap.XXX.com --krb5adminserver=ldap.XXX.com The /etc/nsswitch.conf file

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

Hello, I have a question that I was wondering if someone could help me with. I am an admin at RIT and we have a large network base of Sun machines. We do authentication via NIS over NFS. We are about to receive a full lab of Windows boxes and need to set up a samba server to serve users' home directories to the Windows boxes. This initial configuration is relatively easy, but we want

Hello list, I need to setup a samba file server with user access from a Windows AD domain and a separate Solaris NIS domain. All of our users have an account on the AD domain but only some of our users have a Unix account. I would like Windows users that have a Unix account to have files written as per their Unix uid and users that do not have an account to have a uid assigned from winbind. I

Hello listmates, We are currently running NIS for authentication but would like to migrate to LDAP. Thing is, though, that some of the machines that authenticate via NIS are so old I'd rather not even touch them. Hence the question - is there a good way to have an NIS server for user authentication that is a mirror image of an LDAP server, with a proviso that an update introduced there is

I have a huge UNIX network. I want to deploy a Samba server using NIS Authentication mechanism for the growing number of windows machines. What are the pros and cons of using NIS authentication with Samba? Also any pointer/docs in setting up Samba with NIS Authentication. I am pretty much familiar in setting up Samba using the default smbpasswd authentication. Thanks in advance

Hi I use NIS om my network (CentOS4.6). When an update on a map occurs (home directory changed in /etc/passwd for instance), I run make -C /var/yp/ and check the result on a client. On the client I use "ypcat passwd" and find indeed that the update has propagated (the clients run ypbind service). On the client I have configured /etc/nsswitch.conf with : passwd: files nis shadow:

hello, this morning, we rebooted our nis master server and sshd died on most of our client servers. our setup is this: nis master netapp with /usr/local volume shared out. sshd sits in /usr/local/sbin on the netapp many nis/nfs clients, each nfs mount /usr/local from the netapp and run sshd from there. we completed a planned reboot of the nis master this morning, and the parent sshd died,

We use NIS (ypbind) and Kerberos at work for all our Linux and Unix systems. Home directories are mounted via autofs from an NIS map. Everything works just fine as long as all network resources are available (however, things turn ugly when the NIS servers are not reachable). Some users also want to start using laptops and bring them home or on trips to continue working while not at

Dear all, I have a NIS server which shares a database of users between some computers (nodes exactly) and I would like that, on the first login, the user changes its password. So, on the NIS server I have made: chage -d 0 USER Then: # cd /var/yp # make On the NIS server I have: chage -l USER Last password change : password must be changed Password expires
