Samba, Passwords & PAM -- Help (hamm)
Need help. I set up Samba to let me network a Windoz 3.11 box (yuck)
with my main debian Linux machine:
Pentium 48MB
Kernel version 2.0.30
smbd Version 1.9.16p11
Passwords do not seem to work. If I set /etc/samb.conf so that the
various services are 'public' then those services are available and work
from either smbclient or the Windoz box. Anything set up to require a
password though failes--both ways. Attempting to use smbclient to login
to the windoz box also fails.
One error message that does baffle me a bit is that I get something
like: "Server gave us a UID of 100. We gave 1000" with the second UID
matching the particular Linux login name.
This is probably just a real good example of 'ignorance at work' but I
also note that adding a -U <login name> does not alter the UIDs printed
out. Also, the UID '100' makes no sense to me at all.
The machine has shadow passwords and PAM installed. PPP seems to work
OK with the PAM as does NFS.
The notes for Samba (in /usr/doc) mention that this particular Samba IS
compiled for PAM support but I can't find anything on how to set it up
(plus I am still suspicious about the UID '100' thing).
