[Samba] smb_pam_accountcheck: PAM: Account validation failed...
Firstly, I've already solved the daft mistake of mine. I'm merely sending it in so the next person digging through the archives might get helped out. I've configured Samba v2.2.8a, alot of default settings. No LDAP interaction, no winbindd. Accounts were created both in '/etc/passwd' && 'smbpasswd', but whenever I tried to mount a share from my RedHat box, the following got logged in '/var/log/messages' : Jun 25 12:04:54 beastic smbd[13211]: smb_pam_accountcheck: PAM: Account Validation Failed - Rejecting User juliangomez! A Google search turned up answers that those errors are usually due to either an entry in smbpasswd / passwd not existing properly. Anyways, another possible cause is : obey pam restrictions = yes and also not having the equivalent '/etc/pam.d/samba' file. In my case, I decided to remove the following RPM packages from my RH9 install : - samba-client-2.2.7a-7.9.0 - samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0 - samba-common-2.2.7a-7.9.0 and one of those packages killed the relevant PAM config file. Thus, you'll get greeted by the above error also. Hope this helps someone else in the future. -- The Daft Idiot -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

I'm such a nitwit, here's the logged entry in '/var/log/messages' btw : Jun 12 15:33:30 cookie smbd[5679]: smb_pass_passchange: PAM: Password Change Failed for user tester! I did run across another post by someone which said they used "/usr/bin/passwd %U" instead of "/usr/bin/passwd %u", and it worked for them (problem with the sync directive also); but I've tried that, and the result is negative.

[Samba] Samba 3.0.0beta1 problems when using 'unix password sync'
Hi, I've been playing with the above release package, and everything works great. Domain logons with WinXP / Win95, file shares between WinXP / Win95 / Linux. That said, I cannot seem to get the above version of the software to play nice with the 'unix password sync' directive. Trying to modify the Windows Networking password would usually return 'Incorrect password'. I get the same failure with WinXP, except the error is slightly different, but same result. I have narrowed down the problem to the above directive, by commenting and uncommenting other things in my 'smb.conf'. But, when I use the exact same configuration file with Samba v2.2.8a, everything works dandy like. Changing passwords is good, and it syncs properly with '/etc/shadow'. My 'smb.conf' is attached to the email. Samba was built from the relevant sources, my ./configure line was : ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/samba --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass --with-syslog --with-quotas --with-acl-support --with-sendfile support That was the generic one used with both Samba builds, the 3.0.0beta1 configure line was slightly longer, I also included winbind and a number of other things for kicks. Platform is RedHat v9, all errate packages applied. I've gone through Aimsgroup's archives, but cannot see anything which is related :-\ Nothing noted via a cursory look through Bugzilla either. Insight would be much appreciated, thanks! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
