samba - Aug 1998 - passwords

could someone please give me the lowdown on samba and passwords? i keep
trying to connect to any share name on either of my unix boxes, either
from each other or from a win95 machine... every time i can't get
anything due to passwords... does samba have it's own password file?
from trial-and-error it seems that it doesn't read out your /etc/passwd
file for user's home dirs...

thanks...

Hi

I'm trying to introduce samba at my school, but I'm having problems. 
I user samba-1.9.18p10, with Debian 1.3.1
We have some WfW 3.11 clients.
The following happens:
.) The clients can't connect as a user that hast "" (nothing) as
password.
	This also happend with smbclient as client
.) User whos password is longer then 8 characters can't connect with
smbclient, if the type in more then 8 characters at the password prompt. If
they type only the first 8 charactes, then can connect without a problem.

We don't user encrypted password (I guess WfW 3.11 doesn't support
them).

It looks as if the password-comparing code in 1.9.18p10 is broken - but of
course I can be wrong.

                                               Greetings from Vienna

                                                  Florian Pflug

We have 3 samba servers running. I've configured 2 of them to verify
passwords through radius (pam, radius-module) from one holding master
copies of passwords (in traditional passwd+shadow database). Servers
happen to all be in different workgroups, if it is related.

What i'm wondering is, why some of the users get asked password 3 times,
once for each server (apparently the password is same for all servers).
Other users don't, i have been told. What might cause such behaviour?
Especially how could i tell the machine that it might use only one
password for all the servers. The one who is having problems is running
Windows 98 on his machine.

PS: I'm currently running one wins-server for several workgroups, is this
likely to cause problems (except name conflicts :).

I am trying to login in Windows 98 using plaintext passwords into a Linux
samba server.
I've already changed the windows registry, and am able to connect for some
users.
However, with same passwords (the ones with "funny" characters like
!"#$%&/()=) or with some upper and lower case mixtures, it just
doesn't
work! If the user changes its password in the linux box, it all works fine!
Can someone help me?

hi all

I'm still having problems with user's being able to change their
passwords
(either through telnet + smbpasswd or through the SWAT function). I'm
getting the classic "machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session setup. Error
was
: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a tree connect or
sesssion setup are invalid).

... the relevant entry in the smb log file is:

"[2000/06/02 13:30:44, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(988)
  Username  is invalid on this system"

my "globals" section of the smb.conf file is:

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = LAW
	netbios name = LAWPC34
	server string = Samba 2.0.7-2
	interfaces = eth0
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	local master = No
	wins server = 134.115.4.33
	guest account 	admin users = mcrobert

I know it's pretty basic, but I've tried to start afresh to avoid the
password problems (ie. I've upgraded to ver 2.0.7-2 & completely new
smb.conf file). Is there a possibility the problem's caused by bad file
permissions/ownership on smb.conf or smbpasswd (more likely the latter)?
I've tried adding the following line to "interfaces":

	[server ip]/22, 127.0.0.1
... as opposed to 'eth0'. The /22 represents netmask of 255.255.252.0.

any help/mindblowing solutions are welcome ....

thanks

Andrew

How does one change passwords in Windows to get the system
to let you map drives. Right now it asks me for a password nad
while I have only ever used/set one password, it doesn't know
the one I enter.

Where is it that this is changed or added?  I know about  the place
in control panel but that is for 'windows', which sounds general.
I need to change it for the NET.

I am trying to set up a simple network between my linux machine and
win98 machine for file and print sharing. I installed samba and can see
the linux machine in win98 network neighborhood. The problem is that it
asks for a password when I try to access the linux machine from win98.
Since this is just being used at my home I was hoping to set it up to
not require a password. I can't figure out what password it's looking
for. I logged on to win98 with user id of nobody and did not enter a
password when logging on win98.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. I
am new to linux, so if I left out information needed to help with this
problem, I apologize.

I'm running the version of Samba that came with my Linux Mandrake 7.2. 
(I think it's 2.1.4) 
My problem is that I can log onto SWAT as any user but root.  Any clue
as to what might be wrong?

THX in advance

Hi!

I made a C script to work with an html form to allow my users to change their 
passwords.

Since they use ftp and samba, i've tried to execute smbpasswd and with 
password sync in smb.conf it should work well.

The problem is that smbpasswd must have setuid set and it doesn't run like 
this.

Any ideas to turn this around?

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying ot upgrade samba 2.0.7 to 2.2.0-alpha2 and when I run it and try
to authenticate, I get this error

[2001/02/01 19:58:35, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(544)
  Account for user 'poseiden' was disabled.

I'm still using the samba 2.0.7 password file, is this the problem?

Hi

I would like to not have to setup all the NT users on my network with
mirrored names and passwords on our SUN SOLARIS 2.7 machine. There would
appear to be a way of doing this but nothing seems to work. I understand
that I would have to setup a guest account on the UNIX machine, but when I
try this, and try to map a UNIX dry from WINDOWS explorer, I am asked for
the password. I am using WIN95. Any pointers would be appreciated.


Regards

David Allan

What I had to do is make SAMBA the PDC and have my nt server a MEMBER server
joined to the domain.  All my users exist on the samba machine and
apparently when I try to connect to shares on the nt server it looks up my
password on the unix server

Hello all, 
    I am trying to implement a samba Domain Controller on a small 5
client network main usage will be centralized data storage and local
Workstation Security.  Network Back ground All client workstations
are Windows XP pro., the Server is a Clark Connect 1.3 Box. The 
Client PC's are 1.5Ghz with 512MB memory and 10/100 nics, The server
is a 2Ghz 1GB memory and a 10/100 nic.  The problem I'm having is
when the Client Work stations connect they get the Following Message
"Your Password Expires today Would you like to update".  For
Technically inclined people just clicking no and going on with your
life is fine but for the Avg. User this becomes bothersome is there
any way to fix this problem?

Thank you,
