I am running RHL 8.0 (Psyche) with Samba 3.0.0-2 as a domain member. I migrated from Samba 2.2.7. Users are being authenticated from a Windows 2000 domain. Users can access specified samba shares with the exception of their home directory. When a user attempts to connect to their home directory share from Windows the dreaded "Enter Network Password" box appears."Incorrect password or unknown username for:" Connect at: Pasword:. If I enter the users name and password the box just reappears again. On Samba 2.2.7 I had it configured perfectly so that when a new user connected to the file server a home directory was automatically created using PAM. The user had complete access to specified samba shares along with their home directory. After migrating to Samba 3.0.0-2 most of the functionality worked with the exception of users having access to their newly created home directory. Winbindd is working properly cause I can query the user and group database (wbinfo -u, wbinfo -g, getent passwd). Samba appears to be authenticating properly. I believe the problem lies in the PAM configuration. Since Samba 3.x is so new I was not able to find any information to help me resolve this. I checked the PAM website, checked user group forums, and the O'reilly Using Samba book to no avail. I will be rolling back to Samba 2.2.7 until we can resolve the issue. Please help. Thank you for reading.
Is the problem with all home directories? Do you have [homes] ... valid users = %S This was broken in 3.0.0 but has been fixed in 3.0.1pre1 and later.
no feedback. Assuming the bug was fixed post 3.0.0
originally reported against one of the 3.0.0rc[1-4] releases. Cleaning up non-production versions.
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
