Hi pam-list, I'm setting an auxiliary server for use with Unix accounts through NIS and SAMBA accounts for NT workstations. I want to unify the authorization for both, so I first try to check if passwords are updated by the pwdb module in NIS and find that it fails giving a "permission denied" message to the user and logging "cannot update default database for user..." I have check the /etc/pwdb.conf file and put nis+unix+shadow in the first place but it fails the same. The next step is to use the pam_smb module to update and synchronize the smbpasswd file, but I am stucked with the NIS still. Any help? Thank you. --
