[Samba] Failure with authentication using Winbind and SMTP

[Julio Rojas]

Hi, my name is Julio Rojas and I've trying to get my Linux (RedHat 7.2) Email Server using Sendmail to use my NT Domain account database. To accomplish this we have tried with Winbind and it has worked for longins at the server and for POP3 authentication, but we haven't been succesful at SMTP authentication. All the emails sent to my Linux server are rejected with the message USER UNKNOWN. The following is an example of my NT server trying to send an email to my Linux server:

SMTP (560) Trying aiur.uft.edu.ve (0)
SMTP (560) Connect aiur.uft.edu.ve [200.35.85.219:25] (2)
SMTP (560) 220 aiur.uft.edu.ve ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.6/8.11.6; Thu, 14 Feb 2002 08:54:12 -0400

SMTP (560) Creating message from Postmaster


First of all, is there any way of removing the domain name at the user name (RED-UFT)? And the SMTP server is working fine with local Linux users, it just doesn't work with Winbind.

Here is the PAM configuration file for SMTP. We have made it after the one that works for POP3:

#%PAM-1.0
auth       sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
auth       required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_first_pass shadow nullok
account    required /lib/security/pam_winbind.so

Can you help us??? Thanx in advance...
