similar to: NIS/Samba probs

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

I have RHEL5 Server originally configured and installed by me with Firewall enabled, but passing through NFS, Samba, and SSH. I then disabled SELinux. As you all likely recall, I had configured a test environment to get samba and nfs/nis up and running. I got it going, and recently brought it to a production server. After modifying the files on the production server and rebooting, I'm

So I configured my Enterprise 5 server to have NFS configured on specific ports via the NFS Server menu option. Since having done that, I am unable to get my two CentOS 5 workstations to bind via YP. One worked just fine before the port reconfiguration, but broke after. The other never worked fine. NFS works fine on both, but NIS will no longer bind. What do I need to change on the client

For those who are new or forget - I have a RHEL 5 Server and a few dualboot XP w/SP2 and CentOS 5 systems. The Linux machines were installed straight of CD/DVD, no patches. I was initially going to try a single sign-on to the RH 5 box via LDAP, but RH says it simply isn't possible and I don't know my way around LDAP other than it is a database and exists. So, option 2 is to simply

I've got a RHEL5 server acting as a NIS/NFS server, and connected one C5 machine just fine. I'm trying to connect another, and for the life of me, cannot figure out why NIS won't bind. NFS works fine. ypbind just hangs. I disabled SELinux and the firewall. I just cannot get it to bind. Ideas? Thanks. Scott

I normally try not to ask questions until I have done as much research as possible, and again, this is the case... Just after I thought I had my RH5 samba/nis server working fine, I come across the inability to update nis passwords. >From the server as root: passwd guest1 Changing password for user guest1. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: NIS password could not be changed.

I have a few C5 machines on an isolated LAN that connect to a RHEL5 server via NFS and NIS for authentication. I discovered that one of the C5 workstations worked fine for NFS exporting, but refused to collaborate with the EL5 server for NIS user authentication. I had successfully connected other systems to this server without issue, but this machine was finicky. I had initially enabled

Yes, if you're using roaming profiles Vista will automatically accept your login (if your PDC is configured correctly, check the firewall on the clients and server also, write/read access to the profile for the current user, but i guess these things were already said here but I'm only replying to your last question without having read most of the rest) The profile is not needed to be

For a couple of months I've been waiting for the v2.2.0 because of the implementation of the ACL's. I've been playing around a little with the ACL's now and are not 100% happy. It could be me, or something else. It might be more of a Solaris-problem than a Samba-problem. The problem is when creating a directory, setting some ACL's for the created directory. I know want the

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

Does winbind play well with NIS (or vice versa)? In my initial test, it doesn't seem that a machine that is running winbind will serve the user list over NIS to NIS clients. [ w2k3/ads ] --winbind--> [ Server 1 ] --NIS--> [ Server 2 ] I'd like to be able to authenticate connections (ssh/login) to Server 2 using the same logins as on Server 1 (samba) and the

nis works well: #ypcat -k auto.home user1 server1:/path/& autofs works well: #cd /home/user1 (no problem) compliled with "configure --with-automount": #smbd -b| grep -i automount * WITH_AUTOMOUNT WITH_AUTOMOUNT * Why doesn't samba read ypcat auto.home? see below for additional detail,,,,it's a rebus! Let the best man win! :) maybe

Hi. trying to get a domU (dom1) up using nfs root. never done this before ;-). I have dom0 up (2.6.12-xen0) and i have an external nfs server with a nice root disk populated. i get this after xm create -c dom1 vmid=1 . . .

Howdy, Ok, I've tried and tried and I've searched and searched and there seems to be quite a bit of interest out there about this but I have YET to see information on getting it to work. I'm trying to get Samba to authenticate against my NIS server when I connect to my shares. Here's where I am currently: Windows XP SP2 RedHat 7.3 Samba 3.0.7 In my config file I

Hello We are have a massive performance issue in our environment since a while. SSH logins simply take 30 s to 1 minute to give a prompt, telnet are instantaneous. After doing a few tcpdump and comparisons between telnet and ssh connections, we noticed that in average a ssh connection is generating over 12000 nis sessions, scanning basically all the group.byname table a few times and we got a

maybe there is a bug regarding the use of nis to mount the user's home directory at the login or my misconfiguration. After the CentOS 6.4 (64bit) installation I checked for the latest samba version on the official repository using yum: the latest version (that was already installed) is samba- 3.6.9-151.el6. >From "man smb.conf" I have seen that "nis homedir" is not yet

Hi everybody! I'm planning on realising the following situation: We have a NT-PDC and some Windows-Clients. As Linux becomes more popular and more important in our net, we'd like to use the PDC's user-database for "logon-authentications" on the linux-computers too. Planned are some linux workstations and at least one server. My idea so far is to have the linux clients
