similar to: looking for a pam_smbpass user to answer passwd sync issues

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

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

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

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

Hi all. I've spent the last several days trying to get pam_smbpass working on my RH62 box with samba-2.2.x unsuccessfully, and hoped someone could help. I've tried versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.6, but I suspect it's perhaps a misunderstanding of what exactly pam_smbpass is used for. There are a few things I'm trying to do: - sync /etc/shadow with /etc/samba/smbpasswd - sync

I've configured dovecot to authenticate against a Fedora Directory Server. The mail server on which dovecot is installed has the nss_ldap and pam_ldap packages installed, and /etc/dovecot.conf has the following two lines: auth_userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_passdb = pam In other words, I want dovecot to use LDAP to access the user database, but PAM for authentication. This part is

We've got the 'ldap auth sync = yes' working perfectly, but we'd like to have the SMB's passwords updated via passwd an PAM aware apps. We tryed pam_smbpass.so but without any effects no matter of the different required, sufficient or optionnal keywords in the /etc.pam.d/passwd : passwd sufficient pam_ldap.so passwd optionnal pam_smbpass.so audit nullok use_authtok

What specific ldap config files are used by samba when it's used as the backend db? I have followed the FDC Howto and setup the ldap data on a dedicated FDC server. From the samba machine I have been able to do 'ldapsearch -x -D "cn=dirmng" -W *' for all the sambaSam information. I have added the ldap data to smb.conf and set the passwd for the admin account. What appears

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!

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've configured a LDAP/Samba server. I've got password syncing working partly: -- windows client - users can change their password and pam_smbpass.so will change the ldap password. -- LDAP server - user logs on to LDAP server, the ldap password can be changed and pam_smbpass.so will change the samba password. Here is the problem. On the linux client, the user can change his password

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

On a Debian 3.0 system with user accounts stored in openldap, I have unix and windows auth working just fine through ldap. smbpasswd can change the samba passwd attributes, and passwd can change the unix password attributes. I'm trying to get pam_smbpass to work to keep everything in sync, but it only says "Failed to find entry for user test0." which indicates to me that its

Hello, I am trying to keep my samba accounts in sync with my unix accounts. I want to login ssh. Syncing passwords works. Scenario: I create a new user: useradd -m testuser passwd testuser When I log in with the user pam_smbpass should create a corresponding samba user. I modified system-auth which is included in sshd: #### /etc/pam.d/system-auth auth requisite pam_unix.so

Hello all!! Something strange is happening recently with pam_smbpass.so. I get the errors: passwd: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_smbpass.so) passwd: PAM [dlerror: pam_smbpass.so: undefined symbol: ldap_value_free] passwd: PAM adding faulty module: pam_smbpass.so And the passwd command returns "Module unknown". The rest of Samba is working fine as a PDC - can log in, out, copy files, etc.

Yet another odd one... I've got it set up now so that swat uses pam_smbpass.so, and once a user logs into swat at least once, it'll update their password in the passdb backend configured for Samba. But, I also need to ensure that when a user changes their password via passwd, it also gets updated. I added the following in /etc/security/login.cfg: usw: auth_type = PAM_AUTH and

I am facing some problem with samba 3.4.8 PAM pam_smbpass module, both vsftpd,proftpd are not working ..I have opened thread at http://forums.proftpd.org/smf/index.php/topic,4739.0.html it is working fine with samba 3.0.32 I want to see the _log_err messages from pam_smbpass , for that I have added log level=4 and log file= /tmp/samba/sambalog.log. I did not see any of the messages in

Hello list I'm trying to do the make command to compile the pam_smbpass.so make CONFIGOPTS="--with-fhs --with-privatedir=/etc --with-configdir=/etc/samba" But every time I get the following message: patching file Makefile.in patching file configure.in ./patch-source.sh: autoconf: command not found make: *** [patch-stamp] Error 127 What's wrong ?

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

Has anyone got unix password sync for samba3.0.x running successfully on SLES8 server? Do I need the SLES service packs? Is there an interaction with PAM that I need to be aware of? I've compiled the full developer build of samba from 3.0.4-4 source. Compile was successful. I'm running tdbsam as password backend. I've troubleshooted quit a bit using google, docs, etc. as
