<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>in the meantime
(thinking helps sometimes </span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Wingdings;
color:#1F497D'>J</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>) I found a
workaround that worked for me, but I think it’s a bug in the distribution
(probably from upstream).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>The workaround I use
is to let vmware authenticate it’s users via Kerberos (pam_krb5.so)
instead of winbind – by using the AD Domain Controller as a KDC the user
does not see any difference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>What I’m surprised
is that this works </span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:Wingdings;
color:#1F497D'>J</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>: the pam_krb5.so
comes from the rpm package “pam_krb5”, where I find both the i386
and the x86_64 version installed on my system, so I can use it with the VMware
server applications. On the other side pam_winbind.so comes from the rpm
package “samba-common”, where only the x86_64 version of the
package is installed and so I’m missing the 32bit version of the library.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>So I would say that’s
a bug – but I’m not sure if it’s CentOS or (which I would
guess) it’s the same in the upstream distribution. Could probably anybody
check this? And where can I file a bug report at the upstream vendor </span><span

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’ve running a CentOS 5 64bit server
that hosts VMware Server and uses authentication via Samba/Winbind. The problem
is that authentication in the VMware Server web interface does not work because
apparently it is a 32bit application and CentOS 5 x86_64 provides only a 64bit
version of the pam_winbind.so library. At least that what I conduct from the
following message I get in /var/log/security:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>And when I look into the filesystem I find
a pam_winbind.so in /lib64/security and none in /lib/security. Of course the
module is in the samba-common.i386 package, but since it also contains a lot of
other tools and utilities I don’t want to install it in addition to the
64bit version.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
