I am having trouble accessing some resourses on my linux box from a
win 2003 server even when administrative rights. I actually lost alot
of data because after making some changes to some configuration files
like /etc/pam.d and so forth and initially all was working well i
could access everything and even had access to both DNS and DHCP logs
to see who was logged on and what IP they were assigned after a reboot
however (the next day) i couldnt log on even as root under the
failsafe option a real bummer anyone configured linux box kernel 2.6*
to work properly with win2003 server?
Do you know which of the distributions it was, for example Ubuntu,
Fedora, Debian, etc?
As a general rule, the first thing you should try from here is single
user mode. I don't know if that's the failsafe option or not, but if
you see a single-user mode, give that a try. It should boot without
asking for a password. None of the network services will start. If
you can't find the option for single-user mode or you get prompted for
a password, your best bet is to use a linux installation CD
(preferably from the distribution you have currently installed) to
either automatically repair your install, or to use as a single user
mode shell to access the files.
Messing with the pam.d files is messing with how the system
authenticates users, so my best guess is that you somehow managed to
lock yourself out by breaking PAM.

Hi, it was suse linux 10.2 and you are right about locking myself out
because i couldnt get in via single user mode and the cd didnt help
much either. I have just upgraded to suse 10.3 and i have to say the
GUI is pretty annoying.However can you tell me the correct steps to
follow in authenticating myself as a priviledged user on a win2003
server network using my linux box. Would really appriciate it.
If it isnt too much to ask i had some old zipped files whose password
i can not remember do you know any password crackers preferably for
linux that i can use?
You have to tweak some settings on Windows 2003. This had been the
bane of my existence before and I recall fixing it at one of my
previous jobs, but I haven't dealt with Windows 2003 in ages. I had
to search for the solution again, and came up with an article on
accessing Server 2003 from Mac OS X. OS X uses Samba just like Linux,
so the part of this howto for the Windows Server should help you out:

Here's an open source tool for recovering passwords from zip files. I
don't think it works on the high-level encryption that the commercial
version of WinZIP uses, but you can give it a shot:

For production servers or systems where uptime is critical, I'd stick
with ext3. It works. On my personal system, I might be tempted to
play with XFS. The choice is yours, but ext3 is a time-proven winner
if reliability and stability is key, especially if you don't need the
features that XFS offers which ext3 does not.
Best of luck!
