Hi,
This is a very scary problem I have here. I use a precompiled 2.0.6 samba
on my SGI IRIX 6.3 system. I also have smbpasswd file setup. When I tried
to change the samba password using smbpasswd program ( from a non root
account whic I use) I got an error messgae saying that it cannot change
the password. My goodness, I found that the instead of changing password
for my account smbpasswd changed the root account password. This
particular account has second group id "sys" and password program has
both
suid and sgid bits turned on. I do not know if this is some bug in the
smbpasswd progarm or in my setting. I cannot imagine what would have
happend if some other user has tried to change his samba password. Can
anybody tell me what went wrong. Here is my smb.conf file.
[global]
workgroup = OCS
server string = SGI O2 At KNG's Lab
update encrypted = Yes
unix password sync = Yes
max log size = 50
max xmit = 8192
shared mem size = 5242880
os level = 0
local master = No
comment = Samba %v
print command = /usr/samba/bin/sambalp %p %s %U %m
hide dot files = No
[homes]
comment = Your Home Ground
read only = No
browseable = No
[CD-ROM]
comment = CD-ROM Drive on DNA
path = /CDROM
fake oplocks = Yes
Thanks
