Kevin, Firstly, you need to obtain the DES libraries. Then you need to tell the Samba Makefile that you wish to compile in DES encryption services and link with the DES library. Then in the smb.conf file you need to add to the [Globals] section: encrypted passwords = yes Then you need to create a separate smbpasswd file. Please read the documentation in the docs directory of the Samba source

I have set up mysql to store my encrypted passwords. The initial table is of course empty. My question is how do I add users. I cannot seem to use "net user add", as it asks me for a password, and of course there are no users in the database to verify against... What must I do to get started.... or... am I being REALLY stupid?? Howard

I am wondering if anyone has ever answered the question of group policy operability under Windows 9x. That is, I am _not_ looking for a work-around but the real thing--one config.pol file to service several groups. I have done my homework, hopefully well, but found nothing. To prove this, I will quickly summarize my findings below. Either I have found: 1. a list of unresolved (mostly

Hi, This is a slight repetition but I have discovered more.... I have the latest beta of Samba 3.0. I want to use the MySql password authentication (mainly because I don't know and don't have time to learn LDAP). However, beyond the examples I can find no other code relating to mysql in the source tree. mysql.so in particular is not there. Is it included in the source? If not

mksmbpasswd.sh does not create accounts with the X flag in the password flags field. Does this X matter, and if so, what does it mean? It's not in the man page. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book

This could be quite simple but I don't know how to do it. Does anyone know how I can automatically mount a users home drive (which is located on a windows server) when they log in? Is there a pam module for that? Thanks very much, Sapan

Hi All, Any recommendation for a Network Browser for KDE/GNOME/WindowMaker?? Cheers, Mun Heng, Ow H/M Engineering Western Digital M'sia DID : 03-7870 5168

All, I currently have a problem where the default user profile is not being picked up - Windows simply ingores it and creates one based on local settings. I understand samba supports default user profiles, and one can be put into the profiles share like this: /export/profiles/Default User/ This directory contains a copy of a working profile from a proper user. The relevant smb.conf sections

I've been running Samba 2.2.2 for a while as a domain controller on my mostly Windows network. It's been working great up to this point. Anyway, I just put together a new Linux server and installed 2.2.2 on it as well. I copied the conf file and pretty much mirrored everything on the existing server, changed the paths and the "workgroup" field in the conf file to match the new

I have posted this question twice without any response. We are running samba on an OpenUnix 8 machine, then we are mapping the samba share on a Windows 2000 machine. If we run our process from the Windows command line..(copying files to the share) everything runs great. The problem is if someone telnets to the Windows 2000 machine and runs the same process they get "The specific network

Hi folks, is anybody using those two products together and can give me any advice on how to do this? My specific issue has been addressed in other posts before, but as nobody responded, it would just now be interesting if anybody at least uses those applications together successfully? greets Malte

I have been searching for info on this and haven't found an authoritative answer. From what I have read, oplocks are good because they increase connection speeds, but they are bad because they don't really work, but they actually do work, but they only work in some cases, etc etc. so, here's my problem and my question together: I get tons of these messages every day (over a thousand a

Hello, Can you say me which is the key to add in the registry for Windows XP to Enable Plain Text Password? Best Regards

Has anyone seen this: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Embedded/sak/evaluation/compare/advantage.asp And has anyone from the Samba team posted a response? It seems like some of the information presented there is contrary to what I know about Samba. ERX

Hi all!! I'd set up my samba 2.2.7 to auth with "security=domain" mode, but my clients cannot auth successfully never because the samba server cannot "talk" correctly with my PDC(w2k adv. Server). In the computer manager event, I see authentication request but with empty usernames......so the PDC reject the authentication request. Is this a know

I am looking forward to create more than 1000 shares on a SAMBA server. Is it possible? Are there any known limitations doing so? (number of concurrent access) Thank you for your help. Thierry CONTER
