Hi all. I've spent the last several days trying to get pam_smbpass working on my RH62 box with samba-2.2.x unsuccessfully, and hoped someone could help.
I've tried versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.6, but I suspect it's perhaps a misunderstanding of what exactly pam_smbpass is used for. There are a few things I'm trying to do: - sync /etc/shadow with /etc/samba/smbpasswd - sync /etc/samba/smbpasswd with /etc/shadow So, if someone uses passwd to change their password it will automatically also update the samba password. If a windows user changes their password, it should also update /etc/shadow. Is this correct? There are several examples in the sample/ directory included with the samba source, but it is unclear where these files actually go. I'm not terribly familiar with PAM. Can someone forward me their working copies of the PAM config files that apply to do what I've described above? Even when enabling "debug level = 10" it doesn't appear like /etc/shadow is being consulted. I've also tried strace'ing "passwd username" and it never updates smbpasswd. Same when doing vice-versa. I've searched the net and there are mentions of various smb.conf config settings that are supposed to work, all of which I've tried to no avail. What are the known-good smb.conf settings necessary to make this happen? Is it necessary for the samba server to be a domain controller? Does it work successfully with modern encrypted passwords?
