I'm trying to configure two things on my RH 5 server with dual-boot CentOS 5 (out-of-box) and Windows XP w/SP2 (fully patched) clients: - NIS/NFS: I have managed to get user logins, but all accounts produce Can't Find Home Directory, Using Root! The error logs, when trying to mount any NFS directory, is the server claims permission denied. I've reviewed many web pages and

We have a network with Windows NT/2000, SGI's, Linux, Macintosh, AIX. Our user account/passwords for all our machines is handled by NIS on an AIX machine. Our unix machines autheticate through NIS. Our windows machines authenticate by loging on to an NT server acting as the PDC, and that PDC has a service installed on it called "WinDD NIS" (made by Tektronix I think) which contacts

Howdy, I setup a test NIS domain that i'd like to test the home automounting feature so basically i done this; -Setup the NIS server and domain, make changes on Makefile to include auto.master, auto.home -had the client successfully connected to new NIS domain. on NIS/NFS server i added this on /etc/auto.master file; /home /etc/auto.home on /etc/auto.home i have this; *

ive got several hundred user accounts in NIS that i need to get into the smbpasswd file. since samba doesn't actually use NIS, but can only be in sync with it, what is the best way to get all these passwords into smbpaswd? I'd hate to have to have all users re-enter their passwords... anyone done this before? thanks in advance, alex ---

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

I am trying to get Samba working under Solaris 8 with NIS (not plus) on this. My NT machine and the Sun machine pass all of the diagnostics and I can see the exported drives but can't login. Everything seems fine and I have Samba working on my AIX machines. I compiled with NIS+ support even though I am using NIS and it did not work so then I compiled without support and same error. I am using

Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords. I will eventually have 5 samba servers so this is quite important to me as I don't want to have to change passwords and setup passwords on 5 servers when changing or adding new users. Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for

Greetings We have a situation where we're trying to add a user to his local Administrators group on a Win2K/SP2 box, and his account is not showing up in the list of users in the domain (neither are some other accounts). Interestingly, these users are not showing up in the file security dialogs either. This seems like a new development (problem). The users are in the smbpasswd and NIS as

Fellow Samba Folks, I am trying to setup Samba version 2.2.8a. I would like to authenticate the users with their NIS password and not use a smbpasswd file on the Samba Server. I also want to use the encrypt password feature. The clients will be using XP or Win2K os. Is this possible or do I have to find a Windows Domain Server. Thanks Rob Kennedy EDS UNIX MC/R&D 586 986-8175

Hello all, I am currently using NIS for authentication with clear text passwords. We would like to move to password encryption. Any ideas whether NIS would support encrypted password on samba 3.X ? if not what would be my other options. Sheikji Nazirudeen IT Analyst Syracuse University 315-443-1207

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]

I setup a working PDC, with exception of one major issue: These are the two relevant lines: encrypt passwords = no obey pam restrictions = yes If I set encrypt passwords = yes I can join the domain and login and everything works perfectly from windows xp sp2. However; pam doesn't work with encrypt passwords, so I can't use encrypt passwords in authenticating users. The end goal

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

Hello, does somebody have a tool to convert a /etc/passwd to a smbpasswd with getting a valid Lan Manager and NT hash. or does anybody have a trick, how I can synchronise the /etc/passwd with the smbpasswd without changing a unix passwd twice (passwd,smbpasswd).

Dear All, I am attempting to set up Samba 1.9.18p8 on a Sun E450 running Solaris 2.6. The Sun is configured as a NIS master serving a number of other Unix machines. It is our primary development platform acting as a NIS client and also has auto mounted home directories for users. Samba has been built using GCC 2.8.1 with the following options set: FLAGSM = -DSUNOS5 -DSHADOW_PWD -DAUTOMOUNT

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

I have a server which is a samba PDC and has recently been converted to an NIS client. For historic reasons, many users login information is in the local machine's /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. samba is set up to use a tdbsam database. I got the first indication of problems when I tried to add a user using the smbpasswd -a command. I found that smbpasswd would not recognize the user

Hi there, i'd like to use NIS (AIX based) to authenticate the samba-users (to implement samba enterprise wide) in "using samba" is an option which should be configured (--with-nis) (NOT the --with-nisplus option) now i got 2.2.5 (source) - but in "configure" this option is missing Was this dropped in version 2.2.5 ?

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

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
