Hi, freebsd-security. I have FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE. When I try to change user's password (via passwd) I recieve the following: passwd: entry inconsistent passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module passwd: in pam_sm_chauthtok(): pw_copy() failed and password stays unchanged. There are no other errors in the authorization system at all. Contents of /etc/pam.d stayed unchanged (compared to

Hello all, I was using Samba 2.2.5 on a Linux machine as a PDC and it was working fine. But know I installed FreeBSD 4.7 in this machine and installed Samba 2.2.6pre2. It's still working as a PDC, but I can't add machine trust accounts because FreeBSD doesn't accept $ in its usernames. How should I do now? Thanks in advance.

I'm setting up a new install of samba 2.2.7a on FreeBSD 4.7 Here's a little run-through of what I have done. I added a machine account in /etc/group as follows: machines:*:201 I have added all of my machine accounts in to /etc/passwd as follows: sclepy$:*:201:201::0:0:Machine account for Sclepy:/dev/null:false lexus$:*:202:201::0:0:Machine

Hello, Sorry to be a pest, but I need to try to get some clarification of how the machine name works when setting up a machine account on the Samba server. The Samba How-To page http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html#id2536400 talks about the "common error" of including the $ in the machine name on the server machine. However, all of the

Hi. Only indirectly related to zfs. I need to test diskusage/performance on zfs shared via nfs. I have installed nevada b64a. Historically uid/gid for user www has been 16/16 but when I try to add uid/gid www via smc with the value 16 I''m not allowed to do so. I''m coming from a FreeBSD backgroup. Here I alter uid using vipw and edit /etc/group afterwards. -- regards Claus

I modified a users name on my system. From ABCLast, to ALast (used as an example). I modified the username, then the group name of the user (to align with the new name), and then I moved the users home directory from /home/ABCLast, to /home/ALast. Then using vipw, edited the home directory to use /home/ALast. When I got finished editing the passwd file, I got the following message: You have

Hello, For some reason, I thought little about the "clear" command today.. Let's say a privileged user (root) logs on, edit a sensitive file (e.g, a file containing a password, running vipw, etc) .. then runs clear and logout. Then anyone can press the scroll-lock command, scroll back up and read the sensitive information.. Isn't "clear" ment to clear the

Hello I've installed Fedora Core 3 (Test 3, kernel 2.6.8x), with Samba 3.0.8 and OpenLDAP 2.2.13 . I've smb.conf, slapd.conf, ldap.conf, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, nsswith.conf almost same as described on Idealx site. I've very strange thing. If I add user ( for this operation I use smbldap-tools), I can log on by this user at my unix host (for example by ssh), I can logon by this user

First of all, GREAT WORK! I now have my very own Windoze domain thanks to Samba :) Now, getting Samba to work fully on OpenBSD was harder than I'd think it would be. To get smbd to compile somewhat cleanly, I had to hack ./source/include/config.h thusly: remove USE_SETREUID, add USE_SETEUID. Then, I hacked sec_ctx.c like the attached diff shows, to get rid of some assert_gid panic when

Dear All, Sorry if this question has been posted before but there's no enough answer to solved my problem and I'm going crazy because of it....:( I'm currently installed Samba-2.2.8a as logon server on My FreeBSD 5.0.

Hello BSDers, I'm running Apache in a chroot jail with suPHP. It needs an /etc/ passwd in the chroot so that suPHP can setuid to the owner of the PHP script, but there's nothing that requires the passwords to be valid. Does anyone have a script strips passwords out of master.passwd, sets all shells to nologin, etc and writes it to the chroot etc dir? I've looked around but

I've got a possibly silly question and I believe I have an answer, but I want to see if what I think is the answer is feasible. I've had to rebuild a mail server from scratch, upgrading from 4.6-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE in the process. The other mail server had crashed, with disk errors so sever it wouldn't fsck clean. I was able to get it together enough to pull my configuration files
