Hello,
I would like to configure PAM to sync Unix passwords to Samba passwords. When I add a new Unix user or change an existing Unix user's password, I want the same password to be stored in /etc/smbpasswd.
I'm trying to follow these instructions: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/pam.html#id2606200
It sounds like this is what I want to do:
"A sample PAM configuration that shows the use of pam_smbpass to make sure private/smbpasswd is kept in sync when /etc/passwd (/etc/shadow) is changed."
I created the file /etc/pam.d/passwd-sync and pasted the following:
#%PAM-1.0 # password-sync # auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_unix.so account required pam_unix.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password requisite pam_unix.so shadow md5 use_authtok try_first_pass password required pam_smbpass.so nullok use_authtok try_first_pass session required pam_unix.s
Then I rebooted and changed my Unix password using "passwd", but that didn't change my smbpassd. I checked to make sure I have all of the needed PAM modules, but other than that I don't know what to look for. Am I missing something? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
