pam_smbpass is a PAM module which can be used on conforming systems to
|
|
keep the smbpasswd (Samba password) database in sync with the unix
|
|
password file. PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is an API supported
|
|
under some Unices, such as Solaris, HPUX and Linux, that provides a
|
|
generic interface to authentication mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
For more information on PAM, see http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/
|
|
|
|
This module authenticates a local smbpasswd user database. If you require
|
|
support for authenticating against a remote SMB server, or if you're
|
|
concerned about the presence of suid root binaries on your system, it is
|
|
recommended that you use pam_winbind instead.
|
|
|
|
Options recognized by this module are as follows:
|
|
|
|
debug - log more debugging info
|
|
audit - like debug, but also logs unknown usernames
|
|
use_first_pass - don't prompt the user for passwords;
|
|
take them from PAM_ items instead
|
|
try_first_pass - try to get the password from a previous
|
|
PAM module, fall back to prompting the user
|
|
use_authtok - like try_first_pass, but *fail* if the new
|
|
PAM_AUTHTOK has not been previously set.
|
|
(intended for stacking password modules only)
|
|
not_set_pass - don't make passwords used by this module
|
|
available to other modules.
|
|
nodelay - don't insert ~1 second delays on authentication
|
|
failure.
|
|
nullok - null passwords are allowed.
|
|
nonull - null passwords are not allowed. Used to
|
|
override the Samba configuration.
|
|
migrate - only meaningful in an "auth" context;
|
|
used to update smbpasswd file with a
|
|
password used for successful authentication.
|
|
smbconf=<file> - specify an alternate path to the smb.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
See the samples/ directory for example PAM configurations using this
|
|
module.

Thanks go to the following people:
|
|
|
|
* Andrew Morgan <morgan@transmeta.com>, for providing the Linux-PAM
|
|
framework, without which none of this would have happened
|
|
|
|
* Christian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com> and Andrew Morgan again, for the
|
|
pam_pwdb module upon which pam_smbpass was originally based
|
|
|
|
* Luke Leighton <lkcl@switchboard.net> for being receptive to the idea,
|
|
and for the occasional good-natured complaint about the project's status
|
|
that keep me working on it :)
|
|
|
|
* and of course, all the other members of the Samba team
|
|
<http://www.samba.org/samba/team.html>, for creating a great product
|
|
and for giving this project a purpose
|
