First of all, I am running Samba 2.0.5a on Solaris 7 (or trying to, at
least). I put appropriate entries in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf to
get Samba running.
I can't seem to use smbpasswd as a normal user to set my encrypted password
in the smbpasswd file (or as root with "-r"). First of all, the
permissions on /usr/local/samba/bin did not allow anyobody to browse the
directory except root, so I added a+rx. Then when I tried to run smbpasswd
as a normal user, it complained that it could not access smb.conf and
codepage.850 (which it should because smbd should run as root), so I
changed the permissions for those two files (and the directory structure to
those files) to allow access for any user. Then smbpasswd would run
without complaints, but after it took my old password (which was empty) and
new password twice, it gave a bad password error message. My entry in
smbpasswd has "NO PASSWORDXXXX....." with flags "NU", and
here is my
smb.conf file:
[global]
workgroup = CCRC
netbios name = CASHEW
server string = Enterprise 450 [%v]
encrypt passwords = Yes
null passwords = Yes
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
guest account = guest
hosts allow = 128.252.169.
[homes]
comment = Unix home directory space
path = %H
valid users = %S
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
locking = No
The specific error is:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session setup. Error was : ERRSRV - ERRbadpw
(Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are
invalid.).
Failed to change password for chas
I was able to set the root password w/o the -r option, but then when I try
to reset it with the -r option, it also fails, so I don't think it has to
do with the empty password.
Can anybody tell me what's up with this, or how I can figure out what the
problem is?
Thanks,
Chas
