I am evaluating the potential for Samba and Linux accounts (including postfix email
accounts) to share the same passwords and have a process in place to encourage users
to change their passwords and try to prevent esay to crack passwords
Could someone please confirm whether they have such a system working and how
difficult it was to set up?
When I looked at it before, it seemed that although Samba could use LDAP, it used a
different schema from the standard system accounts and therefore there was not
really any sharing of password data
If it matters, my server I'd like to do this on is a Redhat 7.3 system
I'm running the following services/daemons with my LDAP-users:
* postfix for address2mailbox-mapping, aliases, forwardings and
authenticated SMTP
* courier for authenticated access to POP3 and IMAP
* apache with LDAP-authenticated .htacces
* proftpd with LDAP-users/homedirs
* samba as domain-controller and file-servers with LDAP-users
* dhcpd loads configuration from LDAP and stores leases in LDAP
* php-based addressbook
* squirrelmail webmail
currently work in progress:
* dhcpd logs leases into LDAP so that BIND or tinydns can do DNS with
that data
I think that's all for the moment. Sure, it is *a lot of* work to get
all this running, but it's really nice when it finally works.
regards
