I'm needing a strategy to accomplish the following: We have AD, with Server for NIS working on the DC. I've got NIS successfully working for login - or at least the client starts to login and then complains about a lack of home dir, which is fine for now. Each AD user has a directory on a fileserver, and I'd like these to be automounted as the home directory. The share path to a

Disregard yesterday's message from me regarding dots in the username. I've tried debugging and what I found was, unless I try to logon as a domain admin to a win2k share, I get ERRDOS. The machine I'm using is joined to the domain, and is using Samba version 2.2.5. Here's my mount command: mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/smb -o username=[username] where username is a user

Hello! I've got users that access linux file server from Win stations using Samba and winbind authentication but also have AIX based workstations accessing the same server using nis authentication. They have the same username registered in NIS domain and in Windows domain. Is it possible to map winbind users (usually using uid & gid > 10000) to nis users, so user john

I am working in an environment with an HP-UX NIS that my Red Hat ES 4.x system is using for Unix access controls. My Red Hat system is serving as an NFS server for the HP-UX users who also could be Windows users coming from a Windows Server 2003 active directory. I have tested some configurations of SAMBA using winbind, but I don't get the results I want. What happens when using winbind

Sorry about the lengthy post - I'm putting as much in here as I can in hopes that someone can help me ferret out the problem. Basic problem is that domain users can't successfully log into the linux box. I'm trying to set this box up as an ltsp server authenticating against our existing AD (although this is actually in a test lab - I didn't really want to trash anything real

Hi there. I've posted a couple of winbind-related queries to the group over the last couple of months, but have yet to get a reply. I've read the official howto, as well as any other documentation I could get my hands on, but am at an end to my personal understanding. Is there a separate mailinglist for winbind users, or have I simply asked a question nobody knows the answer to?

FreeIPA is a good option, generally. As best I understand it, it's currently available in a Docker container for CentOS. http://seven.centos.org/2014/12/freeipa-4-1-2-and-centos/ I haven't heard about

+1 for freeipa. It is an extremely well integrated domain controller with a functionality similar to Microsoft Active Directory. I would highly recommend setting up an AWS Virtual Private Cloud or something similar and practice deploying freeipa a few times with a few clients. It takes some understanding of the caveats and implimentation before you will be able to deploy it successfully in a

I'm working on a client setup for thin-client machines in an AD with about 2000 users. One of the requirements is that the server (an LTSP box) not store each and every user's home directory. All of our users have a Home Folder setting in their AD object, and I'd like to use samba to mount that as "home." What works now: smbd, nmbd, winbindd. Compiled Samba 3.0 onto a

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 - Is the following a configuration issue (which is usually the case) or a bug? I''m trying to ensure a local user is present in a NIS environment using the following recipie: class dduck_add { user { "dduckl": ensure => present, uid => 60030, gid => "100", groups =>

Hello Samba list! I'm looking for quick verification that this will not work: I already have a Gentoo workstation authenticating to a Windows ADS. I can log in with my DOMAIN+username and it takes the domain password and maps my uid into the proper range and all that good stuff. Samba is rad like that. However, I have a grip of various unix systems, and rather than spend the

Hi, Over the last few years, I've been using a rather bone-headed solution to implement centralized authentication and roamin user profiles in Linux-based networks: a combination of NIS and NFS. I'm aware it's not ideal in terms of security, but it's been running in our local school since 2010, and it just works. The current setup is based on Slackware Linux on both server

I have my NIS user/group files separate from the system user/group files using libuser to manage them and that works well, but I am trying to find a way to get libuser to invoke a 'make' of the NIS maps whenever it updates the master files. Is there a routine I can configure in libuser to do this, or am I stuck having to do it by cron? Ross S. W. Walker Information Systems Manager

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,

Hello listmates. It appears that in order to authenticate a Mac OS X Lion client via NIS the passwords in passwd and passwd.byname maps need to be MD5 encrypted. How do I see what encryption has been used in my maps? How do I change it? Thanks. Boris.

I have the following nis map (auto.facvs) * -vers=3 &:/disk1 Which allows hosts that have /disk1 exported to be mounted to /facvs/$hostname It works fine, but on Centos4, it allows me to cd /facvs/foo (where foo isn't a real host out there) I find it has mounted my local /disk1 as /facvs/foo. It seems to be ignoring the key in the map pertaining to the host if it's not a valid

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.
