Why is there an authentication failure? I have been trying to getting PAM to send out more debug info in the messages log with no luck, how do I enable this? Is it possible to have PAM debug which password is being sent? Username is correct as stated on the pam_unix line above, but could the password have been corrupted in some way? In the afp.conf manual page there are some options, but I don't know if they can have anything to do with this: You may need to re-select the backup disk and enter the correct username and password.Īfpd: pam_unix(netatalk:auth): authentication failure logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=afpd ruser=timemachine rhost= user=timemachineĪfpd: DHX2: PAM_Error: Authentication failure The network backup disk could not be accessed because there was a problem with the network username or password. Then 15 seconds later a notification shows up with "Backup Failed" and then a dialog window opens that says: When Time Machine is about to initiate the backup it fails. On the server messages log I see this:Īfpd: pam_limits(netatalk:session): reading settings from '/etc/security/nf'Īfpd: pam_unix(netatalk:session): session opened for user timemachine by (uid=0)Īfpd: Login by timemachine (AFP3.4) When I select it, it prompts me with a User/Password prompt and then successfully adds the Share as a Time Machine Backup Disk and it displays amount of available storage space. In Time Machine settings under System Preferences the share is showing up as an available Backup disk. I have successfully mounted the Share on my MacBook Pro (running Catalina 10.15.4) and writing/reading files works fine.

I'm trying to set up Netatalk on a Gentoo server for use as remote Time Machine backup storage. Posted: Mon 12:21 pm Post subject: Netatalk with Time Machine problem Gentoo Forums Forum Index Networking & Security Gentoo Forums :: View topic - Netatalk with Time Machine problem
