POPTOP PPTPD WINBIND PDC Authentication
 

Hello.

Currently struggling with getting clients to authenticate and register with my w2k3 server, using the same domain name as the machine. I have followed the directions on download.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/trunk/pppd/final-report.pdf

When a client logs in i get this in messages:

Feb 22 23:29:40 dmz pptpd[9391]: CTRL: Client 81.174.158.135 control connection started
Feb 22 23:29:40 dmz pptpd[9391]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd, opening GRE)
Feb 22 23:29:40 dmz pppd[9392]: /usr/lib/./pppd/2.4.3/winbind.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Feb 22 23:29:40 dmz pppd[9392]: Couldn't load plugin winbind.so
Feb 22 23:29:40 dmz pptpd[9391]: GRE: read(fd=4,buffer=804e6e0,len=8196) from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input/output error, usually caused by unexpected termination of pppd, check option syntax and pppd logs
Feb 22 23:29:40 dmz pptpd[9391]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty,gre)=(4,5)
Feb 22 23:29:40 dmz pptpd[9391]: CTRL: Client 81.174.158.135 control connection finished


I think that the following lines in options.pptpd are messing it up:

plugin winbind.so
ntlm_auth-helper "/usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=ntlm-server-1"

I have tried linking libnns_winbind.so (which is the closest thing to winbind.so I can find) into the /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.3/ directory but that didn't help.

Doing

ntlm_auth --username=me --domain=mine
password: ******************

Brings back:
NT_STATUS_OK: Success (0x0)

Doing
ntlm_auth --username=me --domain=mine --diagnostics
password:******************

(I have put the same password in here, double checked it 8 times!) Brings back:

I am stuck and would dearly love someone to help me get this sorted!
Thanks,

People.

Thanks for all the help!

I sorted this problem if anyone out there is having it too.

Whatcha need to make sure of is that you have the correct version of pppd. Make sure that you have the pppd 2.4.3 WITH winbind in, there is one without and one with. Crazy huh!
