Pam_mount on SuSe 9.1
by Rob Keeling 06 May '05

06 May '05

I am trying to install SuSE 9.1 as a workstation in a NT 4 Domain network. The default suse 9.1 install installed winbind etc, and configured them allowing me to log on to ssh with a NT username and password. I now want to configure pam_mount to mount a subdirectory of the unix home directory as the NT home directory. I had configured this on an old SuSE 8.1 box, so I think /etc/pam_mount.conf should be OK. However, having added auth and session lines for pam_mount into /etc/pam.d/sshd I can only get to the stage that in /var/log/messages I see pam_mount: error trying to retrieve authtok from auth code How do I enable pam_mount? My /etc/pam.d/sshd file is as follows #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_unix2.so set_secrpc auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth optional pam_mount.so use_first_pass account required pam_unix2.so account required pam_nologin.so password required pam_pwcheck.so password required pam_unix2.so use_first_pass use_authtok session required pam_unix2.so # trace or debug session required pam_limits.so session optional pam_mount.so use_first_pass # Enable the following line to get resmgr support for # ssh sessions (see /usr/share/doc/packages/resmgr/README.SuSE) #session optional pam_resmgr.so fake_ttyname Thanks Rob Keeling -- I love deadlines.

List Alive?
by Liam Marshall 26 May '04

26 May '04

I have yet to receive a post from this group yet it is the one that interests me the most of the Suse lists. Is it just that no one has anything to say? I am switching the entire lab here at school over to Suse 9.1 and would have liked some input/comments/suggestions

Sounds like a supervisor is imprinted with the Microsoft Method of .... Locate a local LINUX user group to see how they compare Windoze to LINUX. You will find a number of similarities. Then there is NOVELL who purchased XIMIAN in 2002 and SUSE in 2003. XIMIAN does a slick desktop and interfaces to Outlook. Then there's KNOPPIX. A fully functional LINUX on a CD (I and a number of folks use KNOPPIX as a diagnostic tool). The CD boots and mounts existing drives as READONLY. So you can use the supplied OpenOffice to access existing DOC, XLS, and PPT files. You can also run the browser to access the network/internet.

I'm a Network Engineer at a company that installs and supports computer networks in schools and universities in the SouthEast U.S. I'm looking out for ways to bring linux into the schools, but my boss won't let me discuss it with the customers because he's afraid it will leave them with the impression that I don't have full confidence in the other software we install and support. I've already had one customer ask if I can produce a working demo of a linux solution that would work in the TechPrep labs they have. I'm not sure if anyone on the list is familiar with labs such as Computer Discovery, Career Discovery, TechPrep, Technology Applications, etc., but if anyone knows how to implement these in whole or in part using SuSe, I've got at least one school who'd like to see it. And if I can provide one solid lead (generated by customer request, so the boss should be happy with that), I'll have something I can take to the boss. He's already said it's OK to do some R&D with regard to linux as long as it doesn't interfere with the current business we're doing. I can understand where he's coming from.

Suse 9.1
by Alan Davies 26 May '04

26 May '04

Just installed/ upgraded to Suse9.1 Not sure how much of it is due to product improvement or my expertise growing.. but it did seem to go well. Two network cards...NAT with masquerading, remote telnet access, remote xdm access, etc. Hoped samba 3 would give better functionality and it looked promising when I tried to join our existing NT domain. However, browsing finds the windows network, and our domains, and the stations - but falls over after I get challenged for username and password. Anyone had windbind working on this? Still can't get PC stations to connect to POP3 or IMAP on the LInux box - refusing the username and password. TV card recognised - but seems to cause a lockup when you try to use it. -- Alan Davies Head of Computing Birkenhead School

Digest to catch up?
by Liam Marshall 25 May '04

25 May '04

I am interested specifically in suse for schools as I am changing my lab over to a 100% Suse environment. I would like to lurk for a while and maybe catch up on the topics. To that end I would like to know if there is a digest of past posts. Fetching messages 123-14x from the help request does not seem practical as I do not know how many messages there have been. Help greatly appreciated
