Hi all, after searching the archives of this list and extensive general googling, I still haven't worked this problem out so I thought it was time to join the list.
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.
With my Samba 3.0.13 (and previous back to 3.0.7 when i started) theres a share possibility 'root prexec'. There you can enter scripts to run on connecting to the share. You can write a tiny script to make home and profile dirs on the fly, if they don't exist, based on users and groups, and even chmod.
--Tonni
Cheers, that worked a treat. I thought there had to be some way to run an arbitrary script, god bless unix.
Any thoughts on the other question? Perhaps I should start another thread for it.
Thanks again, James. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
