[opensuse] ncpfs and PAM configuration
Hi all, I am running 10.2 with an RT kernel for digital audio. The client from Novell does not work with the RT kernel (The version 2 client which is in public beta works fine with a standard Suse kernel on 10.2) After exchanging emails with the maintainer of the novfs package, it sounded like it just wasn't going to work. I had the kernel-source, kernel-syms, and kernel all at the same version and installation would fail on the compile of novfs. It seemed like the time had come to move on and I am trying to get the ncpfs PAM plugin to work. It is supposed to be able to create a local account on the fly and mount the users's home directory from an NCP server (edirectory on Linux in this case). I have been trying to follow these HowTos: http://www.k12ltsp.org/mediawiki/index.php/InterOperability:NovellAuthentica... http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/appnote/6019.html The problem is that they were written for Red Hat/Fedora and the PAM configuration is different. Files are referred to that don't exist on Suse in /etc/pam.d. I don't know what to do with the PAM configuration. Does anyone have any ideas? i emailed the ncpfs package maintainer and he said that he wasn't that familiar with Suse and couldn't help me on the specifics of PAM. Ideally I would like to have this be as seamless as possible for the end users. This is for a middle school classroom that is moving to Suse on the desktop. Thanks.

David, are you referring to the RH named files like auth-config, etc? if you can, look at examples of the RH files, there are the common- files in SUSE that are similar. On Mon, 2007-09-17 at 12:32 -0700, David Tisdell wrote:

Hi Jeff,
There is a comment in common-auth that says that you
shouldn't edit it. It says it will get overwritten.
common-auth looked like the logical suse counterpart
to fedora's system-auth.
Of course /etc/X11/xorg.conf says not to edit it and I
have done so on several occasions without an issue.
Maybe using the syntax modeled in those HowTo's in
common-auth will do the trick.
I'll try that and report back to the list.

Hi,

Really? In the past (and still today on SLES10) I've happily modified the pam's configuration files by hand. I think you can safely modify them.

You will robably only have to add the 2 lines related to pam_ncp_auth. The other settings seems similar to what's in the common-* files Kind regards, Gaël N�����r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛���m�)z{.��+�Z+i�b�*'jW(�f�vǦj)h���Ǿ��i����� ��
Thanks. I am going to try it today. I'll let you know
if I get it to work. If I do, I might add to the wiki.
