Hi, This patch implements a minimal getpwnam() function in tftpd.c. The reason for the patch is that I needed tftpd to work in my embedded system, which are without libnss*.

Hello all, I am working with samba-3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze. From the smb.conf(5), I assumed that, by using 'ldapsam:trusted=yes', one can avoid touching the NSS/PAM configuration. However, I am getting a: user in passdb, but getpwnam() fails in the logs. Is my assumption wrong? Regards, Joe -- .o. I'm a Free man. I use Free Software. ..o ooo http://www.joesteeve.org/

Hello List, I've been running into the following winbind problem and would really appreciate if anyone could give me a hint here: I'm currently using Samba 2.2.7a as a fileserver (domain member), user-authentication is done on a WinNT 4.0 PDC. The Samba fileserver is running winbind so all the users need not be created locally. Now I want to replace the old Samba version with Samba

I have been trying to get a share running for public access to part of a workstations hard disk. Realise now that this is not possible at userlevel security without a username, password pair. Part of my playing around involved creating on the machine user nobody, then setting guest account = nobody in samba.conf. Once realising i needed a passwrd pair I smbpasswd -X nobody and then userdel

Hello! I use a PAM-module (pam_ncp_auth from ncpfs) for authentication against a netware server. pam_ncp_auth can create local UNIX user accounts from information in NDS, and it works perfect with login, gdm and telnet. But not with openssh (2.5 and 2.9). It works perfect if the user already is in /etc/passwd, but the first time he logs on he doesn't exist there. In that case openssh call

it's really^3 annoying that no matter the value of $HOME, that tilde_expand_filename() only looks at getpwnam() and friends instead of at least trying getenv("HOME"). What is the use case? HOME=longpath_to_config1 ssh -i ~/.ssh/key1 HOME=longpath_to_config2 ssh -i ~/.ssh/key2 but getpwnam() defeats this by always accessing what's in the passwd file. So .ssh/known_hosts is

My system is not only for CIFS/SMB/domain features , sometime I need to disable DC so I have to keep local user in /etc/passwd. I have download samba source code and build it. I modify the order of getpwnam call in source3/lib/username.c then solve the problem. I have checked the following list : https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2008-March/058508.html I think this is same problem.

Hello List, below our smb.conf and loglevel 5 output of a failed authentication. We want to get the Unix User details from MS-SFU using the new idmap_ad Backend. If the Windows User is mapped to local name it's all fine. But if we want to use our SFU Users it fails. We believe getpwnam() on AIX is faulty. "id username" and login works for all users local and AD! Any ideas how to
