Going in depth I found in man winbindd following: $LOCKDIR/winbindd_privileged/pipe The UNIX pipe over which 'privileged' clients communicate with the winbindd program. For security reasons, access to some winbindd functions - like those needed by the ntlm_auth utility - is restricted. By default, only users in the 'root' group will get this access, however the administrator may change the group permissions on $LOCKDIR/winbindd_privileged to allow programs like 'squid' to use ntlm_auth. Note that the winbind client will only attempt to connect to the winbindd daemon if both the $LOCKDIR/winbindd_privileged directory and $LOCKDIR/winbindd_privileged/pipe file are owned by root. And that's true. I need to change group to squid to winbindd_privileged AND winbindd_privileged/pipe. Trying to figure out on to how to ask winbind to make it's pipe with another group like winbind_priv... winbind makes it root:wheel by default. 2010/9/3 Diego Woitasen <diegows@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 8:54 AM, c0re <nr1c0re@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> I found strange solution: >> stop squid&windbind >> rm -rf /var/db/samba/winbindd_privileged >> start winbind >> chown :squid /var/db/samba/winbindd_privileged >> >> And problem disappeared. >> >> 2010/9/1 c0re <nr1c0re@xxxxxxxxx>: >>> Hello squid users! >>> >>> I've got squid+winbind ntlm auth. >>> But sometimes I see this in log /var/log/samba/log.winbindd >>> >>> [2010/09/01 12:39:11, 2] winbindd/winbindd_pam.c:winbindd_pam_auth_crap(1754) >>> winbindd_pam_auth_crap: non-privileged access denied. ! >>> winbindd_pam_auth_crap: Ensure permissions on >>> /var/db/samba/winbindd_privileged are set correctly. >>> >>> About 1k users. >>> Sometimes some user can see proxy auth window asking for credentials in IE6. >>> User can just press ESC and do not enter any credentials, all goes OK. >>> That window means that some ntlm auth problem occurs. >>> In log I see only those message above about winbindd_privileged. >>> >>> freebsd 7.3 >>> squid 3.1.7 >>> samba-3.3.10 >>> >>> In squid.conf >>> no cache_effective_group option configured >>> auth_param ntlm program /usr/local/bin/ntlm_auth >>> --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp >>> auth_param ntlm children 150 >>> >>> Using cachemgr.cgi and looking at "NTLM User Authenticator Stats" I >>> see only 32 redirectors has changed "# Request" counters, that means >>> that not all 150 redirectors used so it's not redirector problem. >>> >>> # ls -l /var/db/samba/ | grep winbindd_privileged >>> drwxrwx--- 2 root squid 512 Aug 22 13:58 winbindd_privileged >>> >>> # ls -l /var/db/samba/winbindd_privileged/ >>> srwxrwxrwx 1 root squid 0 Aug 22 13:58 pipe >>> >>> What can be wrong?
