Likewise 4.1 Release Notes


SuSE 10.0 and SuSE 9.3
----------------------
The passwd program on these systems does not use PAM. It is hard coded to edit /etc/shadow directly. The Likewise
passwd program calls PAM to perform the password change.

For safety purposes, the Likewise passwd program is not setuid root. If its permissions are changed to be setuid
root, then it may be used for local accounts as well as domain accounts. However, the system passwd program likely
supports additional options that are relevant only to local users. To make the Likewise passwd program setuid
root, run:

chmod u+s /opt/centeris/bin/passwd || chmod u+s /usr/centeris/bin/passwd



SuSE Linux Enterprise Server – SLES 10 SP1
------------------------------------------
Issue: During the domain join process, the button for system shutdown disappears.

Reason: A part of the domain join operation requires that the dbus process be shutdown and restarted to fully register Likewise software components. As such, the Shutdown button disappears as it is tied to the previous running instance of the dbus process. This is issue is an unavoidable side-effect of restarting the dbus process.

Workaround: If the Interactively logged on user logs off the system and logs back on, the new instance of the dbus process will be applied to the user’s session and the system shutdown button will be restored.



RedHat Enterprise Linux – RHEL 2.1
----------------------------------
Issue: Error occurring while logging onto system with Likewise software for Active Directory account logon.

Reason: The older system provided PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) pam_krb5.so segmentation faults (crashes) on the RHEL2.1 platform. This module is provided by RedHat and is not a part of the Likewise software installation.

Workaround: This crash is triggered because Likewise software configures the Kerberose keytab file and krb5.conf file during domain join operations. Likewise does not enable this module, and does not require it. The system admin of the system can edit the PAM configuration files and remove the references to this module by commenting out the entries in:

/etc/pam.d/system-auth
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth        required      /lib/security/pam_env.so
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
#auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_krb5.so use_first_pass
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_smb_auth.so use_first_pass nolocal
auth        required      /lib/security/pam_deny.so
