similar to: "nis homedir" doesn't work

maybe there is a bug regarding the use of nis to mount the user's home directory at the login or my misconfiguration. After the CentOS 6.4 (64bit) installation I checked for the latest samba version on the official repository using yum: the latest version (that was already installed) is samba- 3.6.9-151.el6. >From "man smb.conf" I have seen that "nis homedir" is not yet

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:

I am having no luck getting NIS to work on a clean install of CentOS 6. It seems to be an issue with ypbind. I have simple /etc/yp.conf which explicitly sets the server domain myDomain server myServer The service seems to start okay #service ypbind start Starting NIS service: [OK] Binding NIS service: ? [OK] But when I try to use any of the yp services, like ypwhich #ypwhich ypwhich:

If a host is running NIS (passwd file ends in +::0:0:::) authentication, will dovecot be able to authenticate with auth_userdb = passwd directly and automagically or do you have to do a ypcat passwd > pwfile periodically to generate a passwd file that dovecot can use? ?

I have a server which is a samba PDC and has recently been converted to an NIS client. For historic reasons, many users login information is in the local machine's /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. samba is set up to use a tdbsam database. I got the first indication of problems when I tried to add a user using the smbpasswd -a command. I found that smbpasswd would not recognize the user

I would be grateful if anybody could supply some more information on the 'nis homedir' option (Samba 1.9.17a4). We have home directories spread over several Samba hosts. Although they can be accessed via 'amd' from any other server it would be a great benefit to be able to guarantee that all connections were made directly to the correct server. The man page looks promising but I

My test setup consists of Enterprise 5 server running NIS and Samba, and dual-boot XP and CentOS 5 clients. On my test setup, I'm able to create new samba accounts and change samba passwords with no problems. NIS still gives me problems, though. I am unable to change passwords no matter what. Also, ypwhich on the client returns localhost. I have reviewed everything, including configs

I've been scouring the web and have picked up bits and pieces, but nothing concrete on this issue. I currently have a samba server that is set up to use NIS from another server. What I'd like to do is either a) convert the ypcat password list into a smbpasswd file or b) just use smbpasswd to create entries for a few users. In other words, I want the smbpasswd file to provide passwords

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

On a FC2 system (which includes kernel 2.6.5 and samba-3.0.3), I am able to use "smbmount" to mount filesystems with japanese filenames on them by specifying codepage=cp932. But when I mount with "mount.cifs" the translation from SJIS to UTF-8 isn't done right: # uname -a Linux 5nave 2.6.5-1.358 #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # smbclient

I'm fitting a Poisson gam model, say model<-gam(a65tm~as.factor(day.week )+as.factor(week)+offset(log(pop65))+s(time,k=10,bs="cr",fx=FALSE,by=NA,m=1),sp=c( 0.001),data=dati1,family=poisson) Currently I've difficulties in obtaining right predictions by using gam.predict function with MGCV package in R version 2.2.1 (see below my syntax).

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 (

Hi We are facing an issue with Samba3.0.25b. Some pdf files are not getting deleted from Samba fileshare. The sequence to reproduce this bug is as follows. Copy 150 PDF files in a shared folder. Open the file share (FILE_SHARE) from Windows XP+SP2. 1. open 1.pdf file then close 1.pdf file 2. Delete the 1.pdf file. 3. now, open 2.pdf file then close 2.pdf file 4. Delete the 2.pdf file. Repeat

Just notice a problem/bug with "winbind trusted domains only" and "getent passwd". I get diffent results depending on the value of "winbind trusted domains only". I.e. Option 1 (NOT CORRECT!) ======================= winbind trusted domains only = yes # /usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -u | head -2 aabal01 aabed01 # /usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -u | wc 5411 5411

Hi, I compiled openssh 2.1.1p1 on Irix 6.2 with MIPS 7.2.1.2m compiler. All works fine except the yppasswd command from Irix (it's no NIS-problem, same with rlogin works): Logged in with 'ssh machine -l user1' # who user1 ttyq0 Jun 19 15:17 (xxxxx.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de) # ypcat passwd |grep user1 user1:xxxxxxxxxxxxx:1535:1500:User1:/usr/people/user1:/bin/tcsh # ypcat passwd |grep

Hello eveyone, Thanks in advance, for what every help you can provide me :) I'm trying to get Winbind to work at home, but I seem to be getting nowhere awfully fast. Here's my situation. I have a server (Redhat 9.0) called Mail... which acts as SAMBA PDC, NIS/NFS, MAIL, DNS and DHCP server. In addition, I have two other servers setup. 1 is an Windows 2000 standalone server, that

I'm having a problem with automount (autofs) from a server running CentOS 5.4 to clients (example is CentOS 5.4). Client pulls automount maps from NIS. THIS particular server is also used for login so it is NIS bound as well (other servers are NOT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NIS Server Side...

Ok, I have a really frustrating one here. Attached is the capture of what is on the wire when this win2k box is trying to join the domain. It was given user "root" and password "dork" to join the domain "aussec". The win2k box just comes up with unknown user or bad password... I must be missing something as another linux box can join the domain properly and it

Thanks! This is in regards to bug 3084, I am trying to find out why samba is crashing. I am using glibc-2.4 with nptl threads. It seems to be a memory or threading issue. Thanks for any help.
