Problem with Windows Authentication/Samba - Cached Credentials
« on: October 05, 2010, 05:57:39 AM »
I have samba (not PCLinuxOS) running as a PDC in an NT4-type domain and have been authenticating users and PCLinuxOS boxes into it using Windows authentication.

I have also enabled logins using cached credentials when I am away from the domain.

Everything was working just fine until I ran an update yesterday, including samba updates which I think overwrote something.  Now, I can no longer authenticate using cached credentials.

I believe I have all of the necessary settings.  In /etc/samba/smb.conf , I have the line:

winbind offline logon = yes

In /etc/security/pam_winbind.conf , I have the line:

cached_login = yes

But, in the absence of the domain controller, login of samba users fails and I get the following error in /var/log/messages :

Oct  5 05:35:59 <hostname> gdm-binary[2577]: WARNING: Couldn't authenticate user

Is there a setting somewhere that I have overlooked?
