[Samba] HELP!!

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Thamara,
this is a common issue with both Solaris 8 and HP-UX.  For security reasons
(I believe) both of these os'es have chosen to limit the 'pluggability' of
'methods' for nis stores to 'known' methods.  This in part prevents things
like administrators locking themselves completely out of their machines by
mispelling or putting in nsswitch lines that can NOT be satisfied.
Unless the vendor agrees to change this policy and make changes is the os
code modules (like libpam_unix), I'm afraid you're stuck with this.
One of the list members hacked around this by wrapping the 'passwd' command
with a script that moved the nsswitch.conf file with the 'offending lines'
out of the way, executing the passwd command, and then moving it back in
place....

Hope this helps,
Don

Hello all,

Can somebody tell me why the following output is given when winbind is used
for passwd and groups in /etc/nsswitch.conf. It works fine when winbind is
taken off.
#passwd root
Supported configurations for passwd management are as follows:
    passwd: files
    passwd: files ldap
    passwd: files nis
    passwd: files nisplus
    passwd: compat
    passwd: compat AND
    passwd_compat: ldap OR
    passwd_compat: nisplus
Please check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file
Permission denied


smbclient -U% -L localhost gives a NT_LOGON_FALIURE. wbinfo-u and wbinfo-g
reports a domain lookup failure.

I'm using Solaris 8  and smbd 2.2.3....i'm confused. Please help!!!!


Thanks in advance
