Well, For starters, you should get rid of telnet ;)
Now, today I got my passwords in a ldap dir and running samba-tng up against this. There is development in the tng camp that will (most probably) make tng + openldap + kerberos a win2000 AD clone. It is not hard to implement a solution using ldap + pamldap + samba tng for your password needs. Check out these links: www.bayour.com (for openldap functionality, good howto) www.samba-tng.org/docs.html (for samba-ldap func) www.padl.com (for pam-ldap /nss-ldap - remember to install both) Tarjei James Courtier-Dutton wrote: > > I have Linux acting as the server for a small office of about 5 client > Windows PCs. > I am using Cyrus IMAP, SAMBA (SMB for windows browsing of network drives), > and telnet access to a shell for a few people. > To set and change passwords I have: - > Cyrus IMAP uses saslpasswd. > SAMBA uses smbpasswd. > shell access uses passwd. > > I would like all 3 to use the same password method.
