Samba without insecurity?
Considering this turns off some significant security stuff, has anyone tried upgrading the version of Samba that comes with OSX? Does anyone know if such an in-place upgrade has been attempted? Samba can now handle being a member of an AD, with AD kerberos tickets, SMB signing (required in 2003) and encrypted passwords. I realize most people aren't going to require these things at home, but in a corporate environment, turning off security to accomodate down-level clients is never a good idea.
Samba without insecurity?
Samba in OS X 10.3 is currently version 3.0.5 which should be new enough to support all these features. However in my opinion most people can be satisfied with NTLMv2 only and don't need to figure out SMB signing (which this tip is about). I don't think Win98 or NT support SMB signing so OS X clients are not alone. My guess is use of Kerberos requires somehow joining Mac clients to the AD domain.
Samba without insecurity?
Having tried setting up Mac OS X clients to work with Kerberos and W2K3 AD servers and relying on password encryption and smb signing to work for the Mac OS X clients (Samba v.3.05) I am sad to say that I have had very little, if any, success client wise. On my XServe everything worked server wise: W2K and XP clients easily accessed shares on the XServe using Kerberos authentication, however, none of the samba clients could do the same 'to' the AD servers.... |
