HP CIFS Client A.01.09.02 Features and Fixes in Recent Releases Troubleshooting Information for PAM-NTLM • If you are having difficulty accessing the password server configured in smb.conf, PAM-NTLM can utilize an lmhosts file on the local system to look up its address. To utilize this functionality, create the file, /etc/opt/samba/lmhosts, containing entries, one per line, in the following format where netbios_name is the password server used by PAM-NTLM.
HP CIFS Client A.01.09.02 Features and Fixes in Recent Releases 1. Change the value of runAsUser to runAsUser = “root”. runAsUser is in the global settings near the beginning of the file. Changing this value to = ”root” allows the HP CIFS client to create a core file in case of an unexpected abort. 2. Change the value of requestTimeout to 60 seconds (the value is specified in milliseconds, so requestTimeout = 60000). requestTimeout is in the “defaultServer = {...}” section at approximately line 208. 3.

# Remove directory itself. For PAM NTLM The passwd(1) program may not return any message (Success or Failure) in some cases. For example, if the user tries to change his password when the “user cannot change password” option is set on the NT server, the passwd command does not return a message.
