Thanks to a reply yesterday by Udo Rader, I have been trying to get pam_mkhomedir working to automatically create home directories on a domain member server (DMS). I have not been successful getting the home directory automatically created. Note that if I manually allocate the home directory for a user, the user is successful in logging in and using the home directory so I think my samba DMS setup is correct.
The DMS setup is Fedora 8 64 bit and samba 3.0.28 connecting to a similar samba PDC. selinux is disabled. Below is a part of smb.conf, /etc/pam.d/system-auth and the log output Any help/suggestions are appreciated smb.conf security = domain idmap domains = EGHSLIB idmap config EGHSLIB:backend = rid idmap config EGHSLIB:range = 10000 - 49999 idmap config EGHSLIB:baserid = 1000 template homedir = /home/%U /etc/pam.d/system-auth #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_localuser.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok password required pam_deny.so session required /lib64/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0077 # session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0077 session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so /var/lib/messages Apr 8 07:59:06 mssrv01 winbindd[2785]: [2008/04/08 07:59:06.957241, 0] nsswitch/winbindd_cache.c:initialize_winbindd_cache(2222) Apr 8 07:59:06 mssrv01 winbindd[2785]: initialize_winbindd_cache: clearing cache and re-creating with version number 1 Apr 8 08:03:09 mssrv01 smbd[2825]: [2008/04/08 08:03:09.745144, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1003) Apr 8 08:03:09 mssrv01 smbd[2825]: '/home/maoms08' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [maoms08] Error was No such file or directory Apr 8 08:03:46 mssrv01 smbd[2830]: [2008/04/08 08:03:46.314890, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1003) Apr 8 08:03:46 mssrv01 smbd[2830]: '/home/maoms08' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [maoms08] Error was No such file or directory Apr 8 08:03:50 mssrv01 smbd[2830]: [2008/04/08 08:03:50.711436, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1003) Apr 8 08:03:50 mssrv01 smbd[2830]: '/home/maoms08' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [maoms08] Error was No such file or directory -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
