I don't think unencrypted passwords=no will be a problem for me as I am running on my own private LAN.
I don't expose smb traffic over the internet, and when I need samba remotely I do it via vpn/pptp. In my test last night I forgot to set unencryptedpasswords=no...thanks for the reminder. mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gémes Géza Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 8:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba authentication via pam Mike Klein írta: >My pam file for samba has pam_nologin for auth. > >I would like to remove as many password files as possible for services on my >linux box and have them go thru pam and etc/shadow. > >Is it possible for samba to auth thru pam? and then I can eliminate >smbpasswd file? > > > > > Yes it is possible, but everyone recomend against it, because it requires you to specify encrypt password = no in your smb.conf and various registry patches on your clients. The worst thing would be, that in that case every password would be sent in cear text over the wire. Best Regards!
