FWIW, I was under the impression that it was needed to find the domain controller to find out where to get the SMB passwords validated. There are actually better Samba people on these lists; I personally would have asked in -questions. There appear to be FreeBSD-stable ports for both pam_smb and nss, FWIW, if you are willing to run -stable. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Network Security Services; supposedly it's required, according Name Service Switch Uh... This is not what the FreeBSD NSS port claims in the package description file: http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/freebsd/FreeBSD-stable/ports/security/nss/pkg-descr ] Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support ] cross-platform development of security-enabled server applications. ] Applications built with NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, ] PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security ] standards. ] ] WWW: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ 8-). Yes, UNIX suffers from acronym overload... if someone had said NSS in the context of something else, I would have immediatly thought it was referring to the same thing you did, FWIW... -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

] WWW: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ So, just to clarify for the sake of the archives, the two NSS have not a lot in common. The NSS thing allegedly needed for Samba is only in -CURRENT AFAIK and has no ports. Some people already said earlier that FreeBSD's NSS implementation (see /etc/nsswitch.conf and its man page) leave things to be desired. Look under the archives with nsswitch.conf as your keyword. The other NSS that is the port quoted above, is actually the crypto services library from the Mozilla project (as the www.mozilla.org reference could have made it blindingly obvious:-) which builds on top of NSPR (also in the ports:-) and provides security services to the PSM module of Mozilla/NS6 (the above two acronyms stand for Netscape Portable Runtime and Personal Security Manager, respectively). It could also be used for your own programs, however, provided that the licensing suits you. And yes, acronym overload is rampant:-) probably because namespace pollution is a common problem in programming:-) -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
Why isn't PAM_smb available for FreeBSD?
hi all, I was wondering, after seeing that Linux has pam_smb, why can't FreeBSD have it too. I can get the pam_smb compiling under FreeBSD, from http://www.samba.org, so I was wondering why it isn't in our CVS tree. Thanks, Regards, -- Hiten Pandya -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

Works fine in FreeBSD, but to have a FreeBSD with the NSS, which is required for pam_smb, you have to run -current, since NSS is not supported in -stable or -release. The are NSS patches listed ina PR against 4.4 which should apply cleanly to 4.5, if you wanted to use it in 4.5-release.
