We've been running Samba2.2.x and relying on the underlying Solaris user authentication (/etc/passwd /etc/shadow). For historical reasons, we've allowed plaintext passwords. Now as we've upgraded to Samba 3.0.3. we would like to continue this method of authentication (at least until we can implement ldap). The docs are sketchy at best (you can use plaintext authentication, etc.), but no smb.conf information on how to continue doing so in 3.0.3. We're attempting to run with our 2.2.8a smb.conf (see below) and the following log info is produced. Any guidance you can provide would be appreciated.
