similar to: MD5 and NIS

The company where I work is mostly a Windows shop, but I run a few CentOS servers and desktops. I have configured my systems as follows with Kickstart: authconfig --enablemd5 --passalgo=sha512 --enablenis --nisdomain=XXX \ --nisserver=nis1.XXX.com,nis2.XXX.com --useshadow --enablekrb5 \ --krb5realm=XXX.COM --krb5kdc=ldap.XXX.com --krb5adminserver=ldap.XXX.com The /etc/nsswitch.conf file

I've updated my kickstart configuration files to work with CentOS 6 and am most of the way there integrating a CentOS 6 system into our LDAP/NIS environment. My authconfig line in the kickstart file is as follows: authconfig --enablemd5 --passalgo=sha512 --enablenis --nisdomain=XXX --nisserver=nis.XXX.com --useshadow --enablekrb5 --krb5realm=XXX.COM --krb5kdc=ldap.XXX.com

We currently use a combination of Kerberos and NIS to manage users on our CentOS 6 systems in a Windows AD environment. NIS is provided by Windows Services for UNIX (or something named similarly), which has some issues, and is also not going to be supported by Microsoft in the future. NIS supplies the passed file as well as the auto mount map for home directories as shown by this excerpt from

Ok, I've got most everything setup, but I'm not able to confirm pam_ldap and nss_ldap are working properly. (Actually given the examples in SBE, they still appear to be returning information from local files rather than the ldap info.) I wanted to go back and check my authconfig and reset the parameters. However now when I do a authconfig I get this: ---- authconfig --enablecache

Hi all, I am trying to automate the provisioning of a few VM, dom0 CentOS5 - domU CentOS4.5, the installation goes well but it completely ignores the %post bit in the kickstart: # Kickstart file for a generic VM install url --url http://server/mrepo/centos4-x86_64/disc1 cmdline skipx reboot # Partition information ..... # General system config bootloader --location=mbr keyboard uk lang

Hi. I have for a while been trying to get my samba 2.2.1a PDC to be a NIS master and still maintain the password sync feature, without any luck. Now I made something that seems to work - but I would like to get your input to see if what I do is ok or it is something I should'nt do. 1: Samba uses passwd to sync the password (not yppasswd) 2: cron runs make in /var/yp every 15 minutes to

Robust, secure and well-documented. NIS works fine on CentOS 8. Certainly the client side. But how it's

I am trying to configure NIS, PAM, & LDAP on a CentOS 6.2 host. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4, but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations are a little different. Currently, local users and groups are showing up but not LDAP users. When I do a /getent passwd/ and/getent group/ I don't get LDAP users. When I do

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.

Hi All. I am working on bringing back a number of Centos 7 rigs in our student computer lab back online. No change was made to the existing server machine [running Scientific Linux 6] Right now there is one remaining thing to resolve: an inconsistency with the rigs' NIS Clients. I have configured rcpbind and ypbind following guidance from Server World (

Hello all: Happy New Year to everyone and thank you for all the knowledge this past year. I have a hopefully simple question about kickstart. In the authconfig section I can enable ldap, credential caching, etc.. Using the GUI tool there's an option to create the user home directories on first login. The docs don't show a similar option for authconfig in kickstart. For now I'm

Greetings. There must be some minor changes to anaconda. I'm getting the error: "Cannot open repomd.xml file...." the file seems to be located in the repodata directory... I'm using the following .cf taken directly from the CentOS 4.4 install : install url --url ftp://centos.westmancom.com/5.0/os/i386/ #cdrom lang en_US.UTF-8 langsupport --default=en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

I am working in an environment with an HP-UX NIS that my Red Hat ES 4.x system is using for Unix access controls. My Red Hat system is serving as an NFS server for the HP-UX users who also could be Windows users coming from a Windows Server 2003 active directory. I have tested some configurations of SAMBA using winbind, but I don't get the results I want. What happens when using winbind

I seem to have this very odd issue with CentOS 6 WRT NIS. I have taken the package selection that I used with CentOS 5 and basically plopped it into my C6 kickstart file (see below). On C5 this works just fine and I'm able to log in with NIS credentials just fine. However, it looks like on C6 if you use a package selection like this, you also need to specify the yp-tools package as part of

hello there, I wonder if you could help me: I am trying to install 50 diskless servers using PXE / kickstart, it all starts well, DHCP server issues a dynamic address, tftp issues the kickstart file, the client starts reading the KS file but at some point anaconda brings up an unhandled exception related to Python when reading Comps.xml?? What is really unsettling is the fact that if I plug

Hi I use NIS om my network (CentOS4.6). When an update on a map occurs (home directory changed in /etc/passwd for instance), I run make -C /var/yp/ and check the result on a client. On the client I use "ypcat passwd" and find indeed that the update has propagated (the clients run ypbind service). On the client I have configured /etc/nsswitch.conf with : passwd: files nis shadow:
