Re: samba + pam interaction on lsbsi

Mats,

I did some testing and was able to get samba to work correctly with the si
on my UL system. After looking at the differences, I think I know where the
problem lies. In the fvt instructions for samba I tell to create the
/etc/pam.d/samba file with all the entries that look for the pam library in
/lib/security. Instead, if I create the file like the one I have on my UL
system, it works okay. The one from the UL system doesn't have any paths
for finding the pam library. Here's what it looks like:

#%PAM-1.0
auth        required    pam_unix.so
account     required    pam_unix.so

With the /etc/pam.d/samba file setup like this, I can get samba to use pam
properly both to and from the UL system. Try changing your file and see if
it helps. If so, then I can modify the fvt instructions for samba.

So far, I can't make samba work inside
the lsbsi.  What I can do is install
lsb-samba both on the native host and
in the lsbsi, configure and start the
daemons on the native host, and browse
them using the client tools on the
lsbsi.

This really hints to me that we don't
have pam in the lsbsi in a state where
it's useful.  I created an
/etc/pam.d directory and installed
an /etc/pam.d/samba that is the same
as the one on the native host, which
appears to have a lot in common on
the pam front.  But this wasn't good
enough, apparently.

I'm kind of a novice at pam, I'm asking if
anyone has any pointers for me to help
save me some time tracking this down.
