similar to: Samba 3, winbind, AD, and pam_mount ... xauth problem

I asked this question a while ago, but never got any response. Since then, I've researched the problem some more, so I can give a much more concise description of what's happening. I'm mounting the home directories of the users upon login (using pam_mount) from the Windows server. However, none of the users can run X Windows. It says there's a problem with the .Xauthority file.

Hi, I´m trying to configure a Redhat Linux Workstation to work in my Windows NT Domain (NT PDC). My goal is take out all NT Workstations, changing it to Linux Workstations. I've got almost everything working wonderfully: 1-winbind is authenticating my domain users with pam_winbind 2-samba is mounting NT directories at login with pam_mount The big problem is about use Xwindows with home

Hello, I have a strange (for me) problem with these two machines : - Client, a CentOS-5.7 workstation ; - Server, a CentOS-6.2 headless, up-to-date server. From Client, I want to use xauth on Server with the help of rsh (yes, I know, ssh and all this sort of things... another time.) When SELinux is in permissive mode on Server, all these commands perform as expected : rsh Server

G'day All Thank you to every one who has helped me get pam_mount and winbind working. I can now use winbind to use the passwords from a samba HEAD PDC to do authentications and pam_mount to mount the users home directory. YAY Does any one know what the option is to change the permissions on a mounted directory in pam_mount? at present it gives me rwxr-xr-x, which is fine. But I run startx

Hi all. I'm trying to use ssh to connect from a PC (using TerraTerm with the ssh add-in) to a Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 box (both running OpenSSH 3.7.1p2) to establish a session for X-forwarding. Everything works great, until I use "su" to change to another account (such as root). The su'd user doesn't seem to be able to authenticate properly to use the X-tunnel. I did a

Dear All, I'm using Centos5 to run a firewall, and as part of the intrusion detection apparatus, I use tripwire (tripwire-2.4.1.1-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm - as made for fedora core 6, and then tweaked with my own twpol.txt). My problem, is that when I su to root, a .xauth file is created with a random tail name - i.e. /root/.xauthyN4aHS or /root/.xauth1sGdFh and this causes tripwire to

I suppose this could be considered off-topic, but having finally finished setting up my new workstation I thought I'd brain-dump some things that I had to work out how to do. I had a devil of a time googling for some of this stuff, and found lots of forum threads etc. where some of the same questions I had went essentially un-answered, so I wanted to put these tidbits out in a place where

I'm seeing that warning quite often. I can easily reproduce it by doing something like this: # for i in $(seq 50);do ssh <server> date&;done That's a cvs/ssh server and has 'MaxStartups 50' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Server sshd is: OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9etch3 pat OpenSSH Client ssh is: OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-3, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 I've also seen

Thank You Louis and Rowland for your help, Seems samba version in Ubuntu 18.04 was the key, (Samba version 4.7.6-Ubuntu). I was using an old smb.conf that has always worked on my Ubuntu 16.04 workstations: [global] realm = XX.DOMAIN.COM workgroup = XX security = ADS dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.keytab kerberos method = secrets and keytab idmap config *:backend = tdb idmap

Thanks everyone for helping me get the home directories working over SMB, especially Ben Ford for his workaround for the Xauth and GDM. Now I've got a problem that, most likely, nobody's ever noticed before... or is something specific to me. I've got a Linux client, and a Samba server, and a Windows 2000 server, both set up EXACTLY the same. I've got a test user and the home

Currently, ~/.ssh/environment can set static environment variables, and ~/.ssh/rc can run initialization routines. But there is no way for sshrc to propagate changes to the environment to the user's shell or command. There is, however, a possible way to do this. If the PermitUserEnvironment option is set, sshd could treat the stdout of sshrc as additional assignment lines of the form

Hello all, $XAUTHORITY location has moved from under /tmp to ~/.Xauthority in 2.9p2. The commit message was: --- remove xauth-cookie-in-tmp handling. use default $XAUTHORITY, since we do already trust $HOME/.ssh you can use .ssh/sshrc and .ssh/environment if you want to customize the location of the xauth cookies --- The latter is true, but can only be enabled in per-user basis as far as I see.

This issue has been discussed here and elsewhere a fair bit in the past year or so, but to re-address the issue... As of OpenSSH 2.9.something the ability to have an Xauthority located in /tmp was removed, with the following description in the ChangeLog : - markus at cvs.openbsd.org 2001/06/12 21:21:29 [session.c] remove xauth-cookie-in-tmp handling. use default $XAUTHORITY, since

Hi. I see this XAUTHORITY=/tmp/ssh-*/cookies issue has been discussed repeatedly, but I haven't seen a solution to the following problem. Remote user logs into firewall. On firewall, DISPLAY var set to secure channel, XAUTHORITY set to /tmp/ssh-*/cookies. X11 forwarding from firewall works fine. User logs into machine behind firewall, and sets DISPLAY var to firewall:X11DisplayOffset.0.

Sorry for the delayed response, Louis, I'm not sure how to tell about having "cifs/UPN" - Please advise. I was able to mount with sec=krb5 after the user is logged in but that does not help getting "home" mounted during the login. But here is where I am now: I have been able to pam_mount "home" during the login but could not get the ACLs during the mount

YO All! Have you guys been following the SSH discussion on Bugtraq lately? I like their idea the X forwarding should be OFF by default on the client.

Hi folks, I've got a problem with X11 forwarding on an AIX 5.2 system thats stumped me. I've installed the same patched + compiled installp package on all our aix boxes but one of them won't play ball with X11 ssh -X -v -v user at host gives (grepped out X11 looking lines) debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentication succeeded (password). debug1:
