similar to: Howto auth against an NT domain I don't control?

Folks: I've got several systems attached to a 2003 domain where we use kerberos to authenticate. When I upgraded a system to the latest greatest samba things stopped working. Just to find where it happened in the different versions of samba I downloaded, built, & ran 3.0.23d to 3.0.25c using the same smb.conf file. Turns out the 2.0.23d and 3.0.24 works but from 3.0.25 on it fails.

After many more hours of searching, I found someone else in the exact same situation as me. But even better, he figured it out and posted a patch! http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2008-February/057829.html Thank you Claude! -- http://theamigo.blogspot.com

Hi all, I had linux samba 3.0.10 running as PDC of my domain which does only authentication for other linux samba boxes which are providing access to shares. After upgrade of PDC to Debian Lenny + samba 3.2.5 I've lost guess access to the shares which are run by samba 3.0.x boxes, while it works on samba 3.2.5 samba box. the scheme is like following :

Just the beginning of a question to anyone who might have experienced the following issue with Samba 3.0.2[5-6] series. We currently have service accounts accessing Samba shares on AIX 5.3 servers ( from TL04 - TL06 ). Most of the processes access the shares via UNC rather than mapped drives. After completing the upgrade to Samba 3.0.26a on the production side, the service accounts started

Hello list, I have trouble with a smb configuration that worked fine before I upgraded my samba to the latest stable release. I used samba 3.0.23c (Slackware11) and now I'm using samba 3.0.25b (Slackware12). The error/failure looks like this: I'm trying to connect to my HOME service and I fail. The log produces only this: [2007/08/13 10:29:33, 1]

Hi, I've some problems with one of our samba fileserver (debian stable 3.0.14a-3sarge1).

When I connect from windows machine (machine A) to a samba share at machine B with authenticate server being machine A itself, it failed with : > auth/auth_server.c:check_smbserver_security(363) password server win2k3svr rejected the password what does it mean by the ?password reject? message ? it only happens when the authentication server and the client is the same machine. here is my

I have a samba server that is configured in "server" mode. However, I want to share one folder to everyone - whether or not they have a real account on my system, or on the server that I am authenticating against. The [global] section of my config file has things like this: log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log load printers = no guest account = lexbig

Hi, I am new to samba. I have configured password server to authenticate centos users. But i got the following errors and not authenticating.

Hi Folks, Recently (I believe since recent 3.0.x releases), I have been unable to login to a Samba instance using CIFS (Linux mount) or Windows 2003. If I change the smb.conf from: security = server to security = user I _can_ login again fine. The NT PDC always replies with NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. It's event viewer shows that the proper username is being used, but that the password is

We run Samba, but wish to authenticate against Windows DC. We do this using the "security = server" mode. We don't have the option of being part of the Windows setup directly. Although authentication is done against Windows DC (so users are not prompted for passwords) users do need a Unix account to use the service. We have users in multiple Windows domains, and the DCs we

Hi, I want to move from Samba 2.2.12 to 3.0.10. I downloade the 3.0.10 sources and compiled them (Solaris 8). Everything went fine. After the install, I tested the new 3.0.10 Samba with the old smb.conf from 2.2.12 (the docs say this should work). I could not log in anymore. I switched back to 2.2.12 and tried the 3.0.10 install on a Suse Linux 8.0 - with the same results. I used most parts from

I'm running 3.4.6 (was running 3.0.28a but upgraded in hopes to fix this issue). Clients running Windows 7 that are NOT joined to the AD domain (samba authenticates against it via "security = server") cannot authenticate to access the server. Clients running Windows 7 that are on the domain as well as Windows XP, Windows 2003 on and off the domain work as expected. Any help would

Hello, We are currently upgrading our Windows XP PCs to Windows 7 and I'm running into some weird issues. Background: Windows XP/7 PCs connect to Active Directory on Windows 2008 R2 Samba 3.5.10-125 is installed on RHEL 6.3 Server. RHEL servers are connected to an FreeIPA (IdM) server which uses the Red Hat Password Sync tool to sync passwords. So we just started testing Windows 7 and so

And I have verified I am typing in the correct password. So it looks like there is some problem with encryption or something. smbd and nbmd are version 2.9999 (Debian packages) Thanks. --James Lamanna ------=_NextPart_000_006A_01C2864A.76DEA5C0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML

Hi, I have been using Samba as a file server and a domain controller in a mixed AIX/Windows environment for a long time. Due to changes in the network infrastructure in my lab, I have to stop using my own LDAP server and Samba domain controller, and migrate all my user accounts to a central proprietary directory server. On AIX, I now use a proprietary loadable authentication module on AIX to talk
