Hey all, I'm trying to get Samba 3.0.4 to work with Netscape Directory Server 4.x with LDAP. The problem is that I'm not getting authenticated thru LDAP. I've tried searching the archives(MARC), google and can find some info but nothing seems to fix it. I've loaded the Netscape V4 schema from the examples/LDAP. Included at the end is both my smb.conf file and my LDIF

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

Hello; Forgive me for asking on this list, but I've noticed that their has been some recent changes to the code with regards to netgroup.h, and hoping that someone on this list can help, I've already tried the users list. I am having difficulties setting up ssh (ossh4.3p2 with PAM-enabled [DO I NEED IT?] - NIS -Solaris8/Sparc) to authenticate and allow users passwordless entry based

I just spent some time trying to figure out how to get OpenSSH to work correctly with NIS and PAM. It seems to work fine, apart from one minor worry I still have (see below). Feedback about grave security risks are welcome :) This is using RedHat 6.1 with updates and the OpenSSH 1.2.2p1-1 RPM's on the NIS server as well as the client. In short, my configuration is: /etc/nssswitch.conf:

Dear all, We're using LDAP for user, group and netgroup information. Obviously, samba does not care about /etc/nsswitch.conf when it comes to netgroups and heads for NIS directly, which is what the manpage of smb.conf correctly states. Is there a way to make samba retrieve the netgroup information from LDAP instead of NIS? In case that way is to implement it, may I post this as a feature

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

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:

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating from Samba 2.2.8a to 3.0.14a and also changing from NIS to LDAP. I've installed and populated SUN's Directory Server v5.2 and added the required schema extensions and imported some accounts for testing with Samba. Previously I used a NIS netgroup in the hosts allow clause, of the form @hosts_smb and this worked when the samba server system was

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 am trying to configure NIS, PAM, & LDAP on a CentOS 6.2 host. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4, but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations are a little different. Currently, local users and groups are showing up but not LDAP users. When I do a /getent passwd/ and/getent group/ I don't get LDAP users. When I do

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

All, If I want to specify a logon script, does security need to be set to Domain? The issue is that we have authentication at the PDC/BDC so that our VPN users can map drives on their home PC's. Is there a different way to do a logon script other than setting the SECURITY = DOMAIN? I am running 2.2.8a (planning on 2.2.12) on Solaris 8. Thanks for your help. spike

Hi, I have some problems using netgroups with samba, at the moment I'm using the debian-package with Version samba-2.2.3a-6 on a debian testing system. The problem is that samba checks for wrong host-name in the nis-database here is my snippet of the smb.conf to have a exchange partition: --------smb.conf [export] path = /Mirror/export writeable = Yes guest only = Yes

Hello, I have attached a small patch that enables OpenSSH 4.7p1 to use netgroups for users and hosts entries in the AllowUsers and DenyUsers configuration options in sshd_config. This has the following advantages: * hostnames or ip addresses don't have to be maintained in sshd_config, but you can use meaningful names for groups of users and groups of hosts. * large scale installations can

I know this may sound a bit lazy, but I don't really wanna bother with writing many scripts from the Administration of my SMB-2.2.2 as an NT PDC Box... (like adding users, deleting users, adding shares and modifying passwords stuffs, knowing that I do the Unix-SMB password sync)... So does anyone have good scripts, or some reference pages?? I searched everywhere in vain for that... Thanks in

Okay, I'm at wit's end, and am about ready to give up on Samba 3.x as a way to implement single sign-on. I would like to know if there's anyone out there who has the following environment: - Solaris 8 and 9, running NIS (not NIS+) for automount and passwd/group maps - W2K-based Active Directory I'm trying to get Solaris authentication to work using AD user accounts.

Hi, I am trying to implement ACL's using netgroups. Something like :- valid users = @u-gm-dev However the trouble is every time a new user has to be added to the netgroup to grant permission, samba has to be restarted. kill -HUP <pid of smbd> does not work. Any suggestions on how I can add users on-the-fly ? or maybe a better solution ? -Vaidy -- This e-mail may contain

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

Hello. Now that I'm able to change passwords at all ;), I'd like to implement password syncing with Samba. Problem is, that we're using NIS for our Unix network. Right now I don't yet have an idea what I'd set for the passwd program. First, the program must be run on the NIS master. Fine. It must be able to change the users password without needing to know the old password

Hello from the Military-Industrial Complex! We're a large defense contractor located in East Hartford, CT, USA.
