I am working to deploy Ubuntu 9.04 in a medium sized Windows network, using Likewise-open for domain authentication... and I have seen this happen on two separate occasions over the course of about 4 months. I don't have any log files or anything, but here is what I experienced.
1) I went on vacation and let my password expire. I came in to work and changed my password on a Windows PC. When I logged on to my Ubuntu laptop, I used cached credentials (as I do everyday, due to PEAP authentication on the wireless) and all was good for a few hours. My domain account started getting locked out on the DC, so I rebooted my Ubuntu laptop to try and update my credentials while hard wired in to the network. The "account" became locked on the Ubuntu machine, and would not let me login. The error was simply "Authentiction Failed". After waiting it out for approximately 2 hours, I could login again. 2) I had a user on a slow laptop as a test subject for Ubuntu to see if it was a viable option for working in a Windows environment of SQL servers, Terminal Servers, IM, Email, etc... and found that after serveral months of testing was fine. I issued a new, faster laptop to said user, and while hard wired in to the network was able to successfully login and transfer all of their files. The next morning, while hard wired in to the network - the user could not login... error was simply "Authenticaiton Failed". As a workaround had them login as the root user... then after about a 2 hour wait, they could login using their domain account. I would like to know what function is failing, &/or how to "unlock" an account when this happens. - Justin -- likewise-open: allows lockout while disconnected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to likewise-open in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
