Hi all, in the meantime
(thinking helps sometimes J) I found a
workaround that worked for me, but I think it’s a bug in the distribution
(probably from upstream). The workaround I use
is to let vmware authenticate it’s users via Kerberos (pam_krb5.so)
instead of winbind – by using the AD Domain Controller as a KDC the user
does not see any difference. What I’m surprised
is that this works J: the pam_krb5.so
comes from the rpm package “pam_krb5”, where I find both the i386
and the x86_64 version installed on my system, so I can use it with the VMware
server applications. On the other side pam_winbind.so comes from the rpm
package “samba-common”, where only the x86_64 version of the
package is installed and so I’m missing the 32bit version of the library. So I would say that’s
a bug – but I’m not sure if it’s CentOS or (which I would
guess) it’s the same in the upstream distribution. Could probably anybody
check this? And where can I file a bug report at the upstream vendor J? Best regards, __ /homas Bleier -- Thomas Bleier, DI HG Wien - FN 115980i -

Thomas Hi all, I’ve running a CentOS 5 64bit server
that hosts VMware Server and uses authentication via Samba/Winbind. The problem
is that authentication in the VMware Server web interface does not work because
apparently it is a 32bit application and CentOS 5 x86_64 provides only a 64bit
version of the pam_winbind.so library. At least that what I conduct from the
following message I get in /var/log/security: Jan 14 18:10:45
ittvm1 vmware-authd[7946]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_winbind.so) Jan 14 18:10:45 ittvm1
vmware-authd[7946]: PAM [error: /lib/security/pam_winbind.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory] Jan 14 18:10:45
ittvm1 vmware-authd[7946]: PAM adding faulty module:
/lib/security/pam_winbind.so And when I look into the filesystem I find
a pam_winbind.so in /lib64/security and none in /lib/security. Of course the
module is in the samba-common.i386 package, but since it also contains a lot of
other tools and utilities I don’t want to install it in addition to the
64bit version. Any advice/hints? Best regards, /homas -- Thomas Bleier, DI HG Wien - FN 115980i - ATU14703506 |
