They should work. The problem isn't permissions, it's password formats. When you try to log in to a CIFS server, Windows does not send the password in cleartext. Instead it sends a hashed version of the password, which the server is then supposed to compare to its stored hash. The problem is Windows uses a different hashing algorithm than OpenSolaris, so there's no way to authenticate properly. The pam.conf line creates a Windows-hashed copy of the password and keeps it in sync. On a Samba installation this is normally done with the smbpasswd tool, instead. -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Linguistics University of Washington _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
