similar to: Windows password complexity dialog displays incorrect information (using crackcheck)

Hello, I want to use crackcheck to check password complexity, but users (when password change failed) gets only information about valid password length, password history. I think that may be a problem for users. How can I (or Can I?) give them information about expected complexity. Crackcheck exits with error -4, and writes information to stderr, maybe can I use that and send it somehow to

Hi all, can someone give a working example for checking the password complexity in samba? I have tried the next one 1. Download and extract samba-3.4.15.tar.zg. Go to samba-3.4.15/examples/auth/crackcheck and compile crackcheck 2. Copy crackcheck binary to the /usr/bin/ 3. Check that the program working correctly # /usr/bin/crackcheck -d /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict 123 ERR - it is too short #

Hi there, Here are the facts: - I have samba 3.4.2-0.42.fc11 running on a Fedora 11 system. - Samba is acting as a domain controller, no Windows server involved. - I am using tdbsam. - I need to enforce certain password requirements. The password requirements are: - min 8 characters - expiration 90 days - last 10 passwords may not be reused - not a dictionary word Per the Samba 3.2 FAQ, the

Hi, I've got samba3 on ubuntu 12 up and running with one exception. I try to get password complexity working to no avail. I understood I needed crackcheck, which in turn needed to be compiled. I downloaded the samba-doc package, and tried to compile crackcheck with a simple make, but all it returns is failure with the following error: crackcheck.c:6:19: fatal error: crack.h: No such file

Hi Samba folks, I had a couple questions about password complexity checking. To preface, in smb.conf, we set: check password script = /usr/local/sbin/crackcheck -d /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict Also, if I understand correctly: /usr/local/sbin/crackcheck comes from samba source rpm package. maybe we need to compile it ourselves. /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict* comes from cracklib-dicts rpm

Hello, I want to use crackcheck to check password complexity, but users (when password change failed because of complexity check fail) gets only information about valid password length, password history. I think that may be a problem for users. How can I (or Can I?) give them information about expected complexity. I'm almost sure that with NT PDC they would get information about

I'm setting up password complexity requirements on our Samba server, using the "check password script" option, the provided crackcheck.c program, and the "min password length" account policy. Everything works; however, the error message that a Windows client gets when a new password fails to pass crackcheck is not terribly helpful: "Your password must be at least 8

Hello All, Can anyone tell me where i can get a "starter" dictionary for crackcheck? i tried googling this but didn't find anything. tia

Hello, I have a Samba PDC on which I use the "check password script" option in smb.conf to enforce a specific password complexity policy when the XP user changes his password with Ctrl-Alt-Del. This works fine, but when the password does not comply with the password complexity policy, XP shows the following dialog box: "The password supplied does not meet the minimum complexity

I would like to understand how the "check password script" interacts with enabling/disabling password complexity checks. That is: if I configure     check password script = /usr/local/samba/sbin/crackcheck -d /var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict is this called *in addition* to the default complexity checking, or instead of it? And if I set     samba-tool domain passwordsettings set

Hello, I would like to enforce some level of password complexity when users change their password. I have a Samba PDC running on Debian set to sync Unix passwords. I'm trying to get Samba to work with cracklib, but it isn't going well. Here is what I've tried: Installed libpam-cracklib, compiled examples/auth/crackcheck and copied the binary to /usr/local/sbin. I added the

Hallo, we run a Redhat samba 3.5.4 PDC with openldap 2.4 as user/passwordbackend. The ldap also contains the posix information for the users to login to some web/mail/etc. servers. I'm faced with the task to implement a 'both worlds' compatible paswword sync process regarding complexity etc. For the posix account password we use a webfrontend, configure to use pam/cracklib checks

Hi all, I'm quite new to all this, so please go easy on me if I don't quite seem to say the right things. (any advice is good advice) I have a 3.0.14a-debian samba install, with ldap auth using pam_unix (see smb.conf below) We want to implement a few password checks for complexity, so I have written a pretty basic script (see below) which definitely exits 0 on a good password

Hello, Is it possible to get the name that was set in a VM's xen config file from the guest machine? I'm interested in having my kickstart launch a script that can configure hostname, but to do that it would need to get the name set in the config. Thanks, Ryan

Hi people! I have a few problems with the password strength in Samba. I have a PDC with LDAP on Debian Stable, with a few packages from backports. The problem is that I can't find a way to enforce strenght to the passwords of the users. I can't define a policy to force things like: number of uppercase letters, number of downcase letters, number of numbers in the password, to check the

Hi all, I can't seem to get my fonts to look decent under CentOS. I was able to make them look pretty good under Ubuntu, but for the life of me I can't make them look decent on CentOS.

Hi all, Curious issue.. looking in to how much disk space is being used on a machine (CentOS 5.3). When I compare the output of du vs df, I am seeing a 12GB difference with du saying 8G used and df saying 20G used. # du -hcx / 8.0G total # df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda3 22G 20G 637M 97% / I recognize that in most cases du and df

I have Samba and LDAP up and running, but I'm having problems editing the password policy using pdbedit. (I'm running 3.0.22) I've had a look at the man page for pdbedit but I don't really fully understand what it does in relation to passwd backends. Does pdbedit update just one backend and expect a user to export the updates to other backends? I think I've set up ldap as

I'm trying to join a Windows PC to a domain. I've got a root user set-up to add machines to the domain. When prompted by windows, I enter in root and the password. But I get a windows error dialog, indicating a user was not found. However, in the samba log file for the machine I'm trying to connect to the domain, I can see that the root user was found in ldap, however, for some

Hi! I want to use Samba as a pdf printer. My problem: a person who wants to print must authenticate before every print.
