Hi, funny - just today I talked to Jeremy about this question and maybe there will be some development in Samba 3 in the near future in this area. Apparently there has been some progress in the internal workings of Samba recently that makes the whole cluster thing more feasable. So, stay tune

Re: [Samba] Unix to SMB Password Sync using PAM

2005-04-09 Thread Schlomo Schapiro
Hi, I used this module sucessfully, but in the auth part, not passwd. That way the Samba password is set on each login. I noticed however, that it is set only if there is no existing password. The source shows that this is intended, but can be easily amended with your favourite C compiler ...

Hi, probably your problem was caused by SuSE's .local problem. They patched their glibc to do a multicast DNS lookup (AKA Apple ZeroConf) for all .local domains. A fix is supposed to come soon ( I pushed them to make one :-), but if you have support try to ask for it directly. Unfortunateley I

Hi, btw, SuSE support will likely soon release an updated glibc RPM to addresss the .local problem (there you can switch off the MDNS lookups). Schlomo PS: For iptables you could try http://www.fwbuilder.org/ - it is quite nice. On Tue, 5 Oct 2004, rruegner wrote: > Chuck Chauvin schrieb: >

Hi, AFAIK SMBFS etc. don't support locking, sockets, fifo, ... (oftenly also symlinks). My guess regsarding the xhost thing is still, that the .Xauthority file has trouble. To find out you could attach an strace -ff to the running display manager and look which files it and the subproceccesses tr

Hi, just an idea: the display manager (GDM, ...) usually stores the XAUTHORITY cookie in the .Xauthority file in the users' home dir. If you mount that on-the-fly, maybe you mount it too late ? So that .Xauthority in the user home dir is not accessible at this stage ? With the xhost +localhost

Hi, you can use the pam_smbpass module for that. User's password will be written to the Samba password system when a user logs on. Unfortunately the stock pam_smbpass module will update the password only once (e.g. only when the Samba password is EMPTY). I modified the pam_smbpass module to a
