[CentOS] winbind - 32bit vs 64bit

Hi all,

 

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:

 

Jan 14 18:10:45 ittvm1 vmware-authd[7946]: PAM unable to
dlopen(/lib/security/pam_winbind.so)

Jan 14 18:10:45 ittvm1 vmware-authd[7946]: PAM [error:
/lib/security/pam_winbind.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory]

Jan 14 18:10:45 ittvm1 vmware-authd[7946]: PAM adding faulty module:
/lib/security/pam_winbind.so

 

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.

 

Any advice/hints?

 

Best regards,
