Hello all, I am getting confused?
Is it possible to reflect the changes made in /etc/passwd on /etc/samba/smbpasswd or is it vice versa? What exactly does " unix password sync = Yes " do ? Also I found a work around from following URL: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/pam.html#id431902 I don't know where to place the following entry: [#%PAM-1.0 # password-sync # auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_unix.so account required pam_unix.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password requisite pam_unix.so shadow md5 use_authtok try_first_pass password required pam_smbpass.so nullok use_authtok try_first_pass session required pam_unix.so] Do I need to need to create a new file "/etc/pam.d/"? If yes then by what name and what all services do I need to run apart from smb?
