Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Morning ... I'm trying to get the newest CVS of pam_smb working to authenticate our Cyrus IMAPd users, and have come across a problem that I'm not sure if easily rectifiable ... Whenever I connect and do an authenticate, I get the following error message generated: May 8 13:47:36 new-relay pop3d[66057]: pamsmbd : msg_snd problem Looking at the code, its generated in queue_valid.c only: ============ if(msgsnd(mid, (struct msgbuf *)&msg, sizeof(msg), 0) == -1) { syslog(LOG_AUTHPRIV | LOG_ERR, "pamsmbd : msg_snd problem"); return 2; } ============ Now, I've been wracking my brain over this, trying to figure out why it is that ftpd can authenticate no problem this way, but the cyrus imapd can't ... when it hit me. Cyrus IMAPd runs as the user cyrus, not as root ... the pamsmbd process runs as user root ... is there a restriction that a is preventing a non-root user from authenticating through the pamsmbd process?
