Re: [Samba] RE: Winbind on HPUX11, Totally Stuck, Please Help

I think I've figured it out.

It doesn't work if nsswitch.conf has got

passwd: files nis winbind
or
passwd: files winbind nis
But if it only has two modules listed:

passwd: files winbind

then passwd -r files works fine.

Hello Dan,
Can you post the passwd line of your nsswitch.conf file?
I am on 11.11, and passwd -r files username
Works just fine for me, with winbind added to my passwd line in the
/etc/nsswitch.conf file...

I've been trying to find a solution to passwd not working on 
HPUX 11 with a modified nsswitch.conf.  (Interestingly, using 
the -r files switch works on Solaris, but not HPUX.)

The two proposed workarounds I have seen (naming the module 
ldap and replacing the system one, or creating a wrapper for 
passwd that fiddles with the nsswitch.conf) aren't acceptable.

I'm really hoping that HP has fixed this, but I wasn't able 
to locate an applicable patch on their site.  If anyone knows 
of one, please point me to it!

Thanks,
Dan Nuffer

Hi Everyone,
This whole problem with the password command not working 
     

when winbind 
   

is included as a method in the nsswitch.conf can probably be worked 
around by simply using the -r files (or -r nis or -r 
     

nisplus) switch.  
   

Take a look at the man page for passwd on HP-UX 11.x  and 
     

see if this 
   

won't help you out. Hope this helps,
Don
