similar to: Configuring Samba with NIS

Hi, I'm running Redhat Enterprise WS 4. with kernel 2.6.9-11. Also I have the following: [root@itbsjb1 samba]# rpm -qa |grep samba system-config-samba-1.2.21-1 samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E samba-swat-3.0.10-1.4E samba-3.0.10-1.4E samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E smb.conf: [root@itbsjb1 samba]# cat smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date:

Is there a way to have users of the samba server, but not add them by smbpasswd -a <UserID>? I want the samba server to be a domain member and the users to only authentic from the PDC. These are the steps that I have attempted: Users are in both the Windows domain and the UNIX NIS account 1. smbpasswd -j <Domain> -r PDC -U <admin> Joined the Domain 2. edited the

Hi, I just installed Redhat 7.2 with samba-2.2.1a on a linux machine. I connected the linux machine to a wireless router, which is connected to a hub. I run WinXP Pro PC which is connected to the same hub. There is no problem for me to connect to the samba server from machines attached to the wireless router, ( one Mac OS X & one Win98), but I can't connect to the samba server from the

Greetings! I tried to post this question to openldap group but somehow my post never showed up there. Anyway, I built PDC using Samba3 and OPENLDAP and now like to integrade NIS service to it. I searched the net there are quite a few guides on how to replace NIS with LDAP. However, in our environment, we have almost all sorts of Unix platforms, e.g. Linux (mainly Redhat), Solaris, HPUX, AIX,

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 listmates, We are currently running NIS for authentication but would like to migrate to LDAP. Thing is, though, that some of the machines that authenticate via NIS are so old I'd rather not even touch them. Hence the question - is there a good way to have an NIS server for user authentication that is a mirror image of an LDAP server, with a proviso that an update introduced there is

Hey all, Does anyone know where I can get NIS for CentOS 8? -- _ ?v? /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

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]

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 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 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 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.

Does anybody know whether it is possible to enable MD5 passwords for NIS and local passwords? Is it just a matter of running authconfig --enablemd5 and new passwords will use MD5 and old ones will still work? Of course using LDAP might be a "better" solution (if it was easy to install). I've tried googling and didn't get any useful answers... Jeremy

I have an entry in root's crontab: #ls -1 /etc/RCS|sed "s~\(.*\),v~\1~"|while read file; do ls -la /etc/$file|ci -q -l /etc/$file ;done Error output I received: do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound

I'm going to install Samba as file server on a local networl with a NT 4 domain; before choosing i have to clear some ideas: Samba need users account and the same account must be known to linux, too? but, always i have to define users on linux,too? To define users on linux i can manually insert them in /etc/passwd or i can use NIS as source in the nsswitch to obtain account from the NT

I have both an AD domain and an existing NIS setup, and would like to merge the accounts. It would seem from reading the help files that installing Services for Unix on my domain controllers and using the AD-integrated NIS server would work well. I wouldn't need to use winbind, and I would have not only consistent but predictable ID mapping, ie I can ensure that INTERNAL\jhatfield maps to UID

Hello listmates, I have discovered a very strange SFTP problem which I can not connect to anything but NIS thus far. See here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/sftp-seems-to-fail-for-nis-accounts-under-openssh-5-x-816020/ http://readlist.com/lists/suse.com/suse-linux-e/38/193419.html Hence the question: is NIS (YP) still in use much anywhere for authentication? Thanks.

So, now I see why I was doing the fw 2 fw rule. It was for my YP/NIS usage. Does anyone know how I get that to work?

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
