Re: [Samba] Samba authentication through NIS

So right now i'm trying to make users authenticate vis NIS. Is that at all possible? Samba can authenticate with NIS passwords if your client machines use cleartext passwords. As I recall, all versions of Windows after Windows 95 (or actually everything starting from NT4+SP3) want to use encrypted passwords only. I know that there are registry patches included with Samba to allow cleartext passwords, but you will have to apply them to every client PC. Look at the ENCRYPTION.txt file in the Samba documentation for more information on this, and look at the description of the encrypt passwords option in smb.conf. Personally, I would suggest setting up UNIX password sync instead. If you have more than a few client PCs it would be easier to get that working than to go around and apply registry changes to every PC, and you wouldn't have to remember to do it when you add or reinstall a machine. There are some complications with getting passwd sync and NIS to work together, check the list archives for the discussions. -- That feeling just came over me. -- Albert DeSalvo, the Boston Strangler -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Unix Group Question with repect to Samba
I've set things up almost exactly like that before, with no problems. Did you set the share to be writable in smb.conf? If the share is configured to be read-only it would show the behavior you describe.

But if they connect to the Unix host, no problem.
