[Samba] Problems configuring samba with pam_mysql auth - NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER / NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

[Collen Blijenberg]

Hi,

did you setup nss ???

since pam is for auth only, you still need the usernames.. (and there 
for nsswitch)
or add them in /etc/passwd. (but then you can skip pam aawel ..)

Cheers, Collen

btw there are 2 mysql-nsswitch prodjects.. so you can use the auth data 
base for it as well..

The server shall provide fileshare services to some Mac clients (OS 10.4.11). Mail is already running with pam_mysql auth against the mail user database, so we wanted to use it synchronously for samba auth. I just copied the settings from /etc/pam.d/smtp to /etc/pam.d/samba (I additionally enabled sqllog and verbose mode for debugging). When trying to connected with smbclient directly on the server, I receive the following error message:
