Hello, I was just upgrading to samba 1.9.18p3 and thought "great", there are very much new features, I used 1.9.17 before. So I tried to set up a password server on a samba linux box. The password server looks like the following: I told the password server itself to remap the WIN-users to the unix usernames, and then I set up a smbpasswd file for the unixusers. This server does: netbios name = SERVER security = user username map = user.map encrypt passwords = yes local master domain master domain logons Ok you're right, therefor I don't need a password server. But now I have a 2nd samba server and there I told samba netbios name = PRINTER security = server password server = SERVER encrypt passwords = yes All shares are writable and not pulic. They are both in the same domain and workgroup. Now if I want to browse the shares of PRINTER it asks me for a pasword. This is delegated to SERVER, accepted and then redirected to PRINTER. Works great. But the gag is, if I want to connect to a share, PRINTER doesn't accept the password anymore. The reason is, that the client ( I tried it with smbclient \\PRINTER\share -U user ) is authenticated as guest. A password request is sent from PRINTER to SERVER, but it seems to me, that SERVER is authenticating the client, but it doesn't notify PRINTER of that info, or PRINTER doesn't want the info. Isn't it possible to configure samba as a password server? Did I configure something wrong? Maybe somebody has a config file as an example? Please help ...
