Hello again,

Firstly, thanks to those who have taken time to shoot an e-mail my way to try and help. It's greatly appreciated. Secondly, sorry to be sending out another list mail but I notice that the suggestions I got were all more or less the same -- look at PAM. I think I may not have been clear enough in my last e-mail, so I'll try to explain again. I also forgot to include version numbers and attach some config files. Again, my apologies.

Also, I don't do much in the realm of mailing lists so I'm unsure if it is expected that most people that write in are subscribed. I happen not to be, so please reply directly to my address if you would.

Our servers are primarily running RHEL4:
`cat /etc/issue`
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7)
Kernel \r on an \m

Some important lib versions (I don't think I missed any but I am far from an expert):
`rpm -qa | grep krb5`
krb5-workstation-1.3.4-60.el4
krb5-auth-dialog-0.2-1
krb5-libs-1.3.4-60.el4
pam_krb5-2.1.17-6.el4

`rpm -q "nss_ldap"`
nss_ldap-253-5.el4

Finally, a kernel version:
`uname -r`
2.6.9-78.ELsmp

The suggestions I got via e-mail were to look at my PAM configuration. What I was attempting to convey before was that I have indeed gone over PAM settings and here's what I have:

I can successfully get a Kerberos ticket (it is shown in `klist` after login) **if ldap is not listed in nsswitch.conf**. Here's a snippet to show what I mean:

passwd:     files
shadow:     files
group:      files

The above works. However, I have to create a local user account for the user I want to log in with. This is not something I'd like to have to do. Now, here's a non-working snippet:

passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap

The above causes `klist` to not show Kerberos tickets (and in fact they aren't retrieved as users cannot access homes). Nothing in the PAM configuration changed in this test.

I've provided somewhat censored versions of /etc/krb5.conf, /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and /etc/nsswitch.conf. I hope these will be helpful if anyone would be kind enough to help. If something else is needed, please do let me know.

Hello everyone,

I've got a tricky problem that's been gnawing at me for the past few days or so. First, a little background:

We're running an active directory setup with the usual Windows domain controllers (they're Windows 2000, if it matters) but users' home directories are stored on a Linux box running Samba. Our other Linux servers will need to get at these homes for various reasons. Our setup is fine with NFSv3, but we were looking to gain security and move up to NFSv4 with Kerberos authentication. NFSv4 won't allow people to access their home directories without a valid Kerberos ticket for their principal. If this could be turned off somehow, that'd be one way to fix this issue (all_squashing to root doesn't sound particularly appealing) otherwise I need users to be able to get their Kerberos ticket on login.

That works fine as long as ldap is not listed in nsswitch.conf. The problem is we need to use ldap to fetch user info.

So, here's a quick example in case I wasn't clear enough:
I ssh to our server using my domain credentials, kdorf and password.

If I have a local user account on that machine and ldap is *not* listed in nsswitch.conf, I can login using my domain password and a valid Kerberos ticket is fetched for me -- I get access to my home.

If I don't have a local account on that machine and ldap *is* listed in nsswitch.conf, I can login using my domain password but `klist` shows that I do *not* have a valid Kerberos ticket. Home directory access is denied.

I need to have valid Kerberos tickets fetched for ldap users. Alternatively, I would like NFSv4 to not sweat people about Kerberos tickets to access their homes. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for your help.
John
