Linux and HP-UX both have LDAP clients and can authenticate all but root and admin users with a central server.<BR /><BR />Here is a document on how to do it with a centralized Windows LDAP server.<BR /><BR /><A href="http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90033/J4269-90033_top.html&amp;con=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90033/00/00/10-con.html&amp;toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90033/00/00/10-toc.html&amp;searchterms=Windows%7c2000%7cConfiguration%7cLDAP&amp;queryid=20040215-223607" target="_blank">http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90033/J4269-90033_top.html&amp;con=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90033/00/00/10-con.html&amp;toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90033/00/00/10-toc.html&amp;searchterms=Windows%7c2000%7cConfiguration%7cLDAP&amp;queryid=20040215-223607</A><BR /><BR /><A href="http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90030/J4269-90030_top.html&amp;con=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90030/00/00/19-con.html&amp;toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90030/00/00/19-toc.html&amp;searchterms=Windows%7c2000%7cConfiguration%7cLDAP&amp;queryid=20040215-223607" target="_blank">http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90030/J4269-90030_top.html&amp;con=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90030/00/00/19-con.html&amp;toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90030/00/00/19-toc.html&amp;searchterms=Windows%7c2000%7cConfiguration%7cLDAP&amp;queryid=20040215-223607</A><BR /><BR /><A href="http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90018/J4269-90018_top.html&amp;con=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90018/00/00/7-con.html&amp;toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90018/00/00/7-toc.html&amp;searchterms=Windows%7c2000%7cConfiguration%7cLDAP&amp;queryid=20040215-223607" target="_blank">http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90018/J4269-90018_top.html&amp;con=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90018/00/00/7-con.html&amp;toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/J4269-90018/00/00/7-toc.html&amp;searchterms=Windows%7c2000%7cConfiguration%7cLDAP&amp;queryid=20040215-223607</A><BR /><BR />If you have further questions, please ask, we're moving toward such a setup now.<BR /><BR />SEP Mon, 16 Feb 2004 00:37:44 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/smbpasswd/m-p/3192659#M9914 Steven E.

After configuring SAMBA (I use Webmin), install pam_smbpass (0.7.5 or latest version from <A href="ftp://ftp.netexpress.net/pub/pam/RPMS/)." target="_blank">ftp://ftp.netexpress.net/pub/pam/RPMS/).</A> Any time a users Unix password is changed, the samba password also gets changed to match.<BR /><BR />-Jared Tue, 17 Feb 2004 00:36:19 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/smbpasswd/m-p/3192661#M9916 Jared Middleton 2004-02-17T00:36:19Z
