similar to: Synchronization of passwords - ldap and samba

I need to let my users change their password using PAM to preserve the existing ldap authentication system. How can I force pam to sync the smb password to the unix one. I am running Fedora 7 package on an x86-64 system. I have smb working via ldap and sambasam.schema (v3.0.24) I have unix password sync = yes but it should not come into play as I never plan to reset passwords via smbd. In

Hello, Does anyone have a working pam configuration that allows gdm logins? My current config works with ssh and bash logins. I'd like gdm to work with usernames like DOMAIN\\USERNAME. MORE DETAIL: ------------------- I'm trying to get a Linux client (Ubuntu 8.04) to authenticate against a Samba domain controller (also Ubuntu8.04). WindowsXP clients work fine with the samba

I am getting a bit confused about which methods to use to keep my passwords synced given the following scenario. Samba PDC using LDAP backend. LDAP uses {SASL}princ@REALM type passwords Sasl mechanism is saslauthd using kerberos5 I can use pam like: password required pam_smbpass.so password required pam_krb5.so use_first_pass and then passwd will set both passwords but how can I make it

I migrated my config to a new server, and now logins against the AD server are failing. If I try the correct password, I get: check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [yans] -> [yans] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER But if I try with a wrong password I get: check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [yans] -> [yans] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD Where do

Hello all. I'm trying to configure pam_smbpass for Samba 3.6.16 on Solaris 10. However, I'm getting a strange result: instead of sync'ing the password, it *removes* it. That is not quite what I expect... I have this line in /etc/pam.conf: other password required pam_smbpass_csw.so debug use_authtok try_first_pass nonull To start the test, I make sure passwords are already

Hi, We have an Exchange server (server 2003) that is a domain controller and a few Samba file servers that are not part of the Windows domain. The Samba servers use their own LDAP directory ( ldapsam backend with pam_ldap ) that is synchronized to one openldap directory server but is not synchronized to the Windows domain AD. The workstations are all local accounts and not members of any domain

My company, which is a mac-heavy shop in the printing industry, needed to migrate to a faster file server. As our directory trees are very large, both Samba, and Netatalk were bogging down badly on our Linux server (Samba, due to heavy CPU usage during directory listings - the case-sensitive file system issue, and netatalk because the cnid db was getting too big). Our solution was to switch to a

Hello, I would like to configure PAM to sync Unix passwords to Samba passwords. When I add a new Unix user or change an existing Unix user's password, I want the same password to be stored in /etc/smbpasswd. I'm trying to follow these instructions: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/pam.html#id2606200 It sounds like this is what I want to do: "A sample

I have a samba 3.0.2a -server running Linux, which I try to set up to authenticate users from a NT4 PDC using winbindd. Now, everything works to the point, where I try to list users with "getent passwd". Getent only gets the local unix-users and has no clue about the NT4 -users. Also, home directories for the NT4 -users are not created and no logs whatsoever are left behind by the

Hi everybody! I am having an issue regarding my samba/pam configuration. I am trying to sync my unix/samba passwords, but everything i found online doesn't help. My System runs Gentoo/Samba 3.5.8 as PDC(roaming profiles host and so on) , and WinXP Clients. Domainjoin and Login work fine. But I want to change the Passwords from the Windows interface. When I try to change the password using

Hi all, Is there any way to automatically update the samba password when a user changes his unix account password using the passwd command. I want samba to look in passwd file for authentication. I dont want to create two accounts one for local unix and then for the samba. I am not planning to deploy ldap as a solution. Is there any workaround. Anish

Hello I decided to test password migration (on Solaris 8 box with SUNWspro C) and built samba with pam_smbpass module : CC=cc ./configure --prefix=/opt/local/samba --with-acl-support --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass Then installed bin/pam_smbpass.so in /usr/lib/security : # ls -al /usr/lib/security/pam_smbpass.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 2091380 Oct 23 11:01

Hello, (I'm sorry for my previous message with the wrong subject; I'll just do it over again) I have a Solaris 10 machine (SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-18 sun4u sparc) installed with Samba Version 3.0.23a. Samba has been compiled from source with PAM modules. The modules 'pam_smbpass.so' and 'pam_winbind.so' reside at: /usr/local/samba/lib/security smb.conf is located at

Okay - I've got samba working as a PDC with and ldap backend. I want to have some users not be in ldap (like the built in stuff like cyrus, mail, lp etc) I can get that to work with the pam_ldap and pam_unix but pam_smbpass doesn't seem to return user_unknown as i expect for users who are not in the ldap database does this make sense? --- pam_smb_passwd.c 12 Feb 2002 15:56:19

Hello All, I have samba version 3.3.2 installed on a system running Ubuntu Server 9.04 (32-bit). The users trying to mount the samba shares authenticate over the LDAP server. Here is how my configuration files look like, 1. /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) map to guest = Bad User obey pam restrictions = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd program

Hi Everybody, maybe we are just too stupid, but for me it seems that there is some problem with holding passwords completely sync between *NIX-world and WIN-world when I use LDAP & Samba. If a user changes a password under Windows, with "passwd chat" the *NIX-Password (attribute: userPassword) can be changend very well besides the both Samba-LDAP-attributes lmPassword and

Hi, I'm new to Samba so I apologize if this topic has been covered in the past. I want to sync my UNIX users from /etc/shadow to my Samba users in /etc/samba/smbpasswd How can I do this automatically? Thanks!

Samba 3.5.1, CentOS 5.5 i386 and x86_64. All users are in LDAP, except for the base system accounts with uid < 500. No local SMB passwords. Only file servers are joined to the domain (and the machine in question. below, is not one of these). I'm trying to get to grips with the pam_smbpass modulei (so that a Linux user logging in with an expired password changes their LDAP and SMB

Hello, Please forgive me if this has been discussed, I did not find any references when I searched. I'm trying to replace a W2K server with a samba member server in a single ADS domain. It seems that the Fedora rpms do not support idmap_rid so I am trying to compile from the Fedora SRPM. After following the docs for building and configuring idmap_rid I get no ADS users from `getent

Hi All, Has anyone used pam_smbpass before with Samba 3 and Solaris 9? The problem I am facing is that the sambaNTPassword/sambaLMPassword and the posixAccount userPassword attributes are not the same. While I can use "net rpc vampire" to migrate the lanman password hashes the posixAccount attribute remains unpopulated. I have discovered that the smbldap tools has scripts to
