similar to: Samba3 and crackcheck

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

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

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

IN SHORT: - READ+WRITE becomes READ ONLY - OWNER ACL Permissions for "another User" affects Group ACL Permissions Hi Experts, we recently figured some strange behaviour on our Debian 5 (Lenny, uname 2.6.26-2-686) + Samba 2:3.2.5-4lenny14 server that i would like to discuss here. I cannot tell apart if its a bug or just lack of understanding. Here is the Scenario: I got a samba

Hi, I am sure it has been discussed extensively somewhere, but I cannot find a satisfactory solution so far. We have a samba3 PDC running with Win7 machines (with the right hacks) without problems. We have been asked to add an old WinXP machine to the network but without success so far. The setup is as follow: Server : Samba 3.6.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Clients: Win 7 Ultimate (working) &

I have Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. I just realized that the users can reset their passwords to anything, a single character a space. Is there anyway to prevent this?

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 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

Hello, To harden security, I've modified the smbldap-passwd script so that it update sambaPwdMustChange, sambaKickoffTime and shadowExpire fields; also, a simple script notifying users with expiration date approaching has been set up. I have also added a call to cracklib to check password strength prior to applying it. It all works well, but the task it to force users to use unique password

Hello I'd like to configure Samba on a test host running Ubuntu so that I have full read/write access from XP to a sub-directory of the root filesystem. The host is located on a LAN behind a firewall, so security is not an issue, ie. I'd like to configure Samba with no/minimal security. Currently, I can read but can't write. Between /etc/passwd, smb.conf, and access rights to the

Hi, Confused and bewildered as usual, so ask the guys who know. samba4wins is now implemented and part of the samba4 package? Is there a configuration guide? I guess nbd_server needs to be part of the equation so could you point to some resources on setup as I don't think I have noticed anything in the wiki? Probably just me :) Many Thanks Stuart

Hi All, I have recently successfully configured Samba 3.3.15 and OpenLDAP as my offices PDC. I would like to disable the roaming profiles capability but it appears that no matter what I said, it is being ignored by Samba. First is my relevant snippet for the Logon Path and Logon Home being empty as described in the documentation. Then, following that, is my entire smb.conf -- please let me

Hi there, I have just purchased a new PC that came with Windows 8 Pro (Shudder...). I have been trying to add this machine to my Samba3 based domain.
