I'm trying to make my samba server create home directories on-the-fly when new users login. As I understand it, the way to do this is to use the mkhomedir module and enable "obey pam restrictions" in smb.conf. The trouble is that I'm using domain security to allow existing domain users to login which means I have to use "encrypt passwords = yes". Now, as I understand from the official samba howto:
http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/pam.html
pam is automatically ignored when encrypted passwords are used.
So how do I resolve this conflict?
And on a related matter, if I use pam_winbind to authenticate users of a unix system against a windows domain controller does this mean that the passwords are send unencrypted?
Any suggestions would help to preserve my sanity. Thanks in advance, James. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
