Hi there,
when running samba with "encrypted passwords = yes" samba insists on
encrypted passwords, no more checking is be
done against passwd/shadow, so users without password entry in smbpasswd can no
longer mount shares from samba.
In our environment - where useres typically seldom login to the unix server and
thus cannot be forced to change
their password - this is not a really lucky solution, cause we cannot guarantee
all (or nearly most) passwords
beeing available in smbpasswd.
Is there any known trick or hack to let samba first check for an encrypted
password against smbpasswd and if
unsuccessfull (maybe only if finding a null password) check unencrypted against
passwd/shadow? This would help us to
migrate softly from WfW to NT workstation (SP3).
Something else would also help us: If an NT workstation with SP3 and the
EnablePlainTextPasswords registry hack trys
to mount shares from samba with "encrypted passwords = yes", NT forces
the user to provide his password a second
time. Is there a known cure for this?
Regards,
Robert
