The fact that you seeing the error saying that samba cant find an entry for the root, is that you have to create an smbuser entry for root. The smbuser database does not synchronise automatically with /etc/passwd or ldap , if I'm not wrong.Hence, the command #smbpasswd -a root, will create an smbuser entry for root, and at the same time prompting you for a smbpasswd , which is also may not be the same as the system password. -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Cenir [mailto:gcenir@globalsources.com] Sent: Thu 4/7/2005 2:12 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Cc: Subject: RE: [Samba] Domain Root Password Thanks but when I executed the command #smbpasswd root It says that it failed to find entry for user root.
