I have a Sparc Ultra-2 running Solaris 2.7 and Samba version 2.0.5 Most of the time everything works fine, Win95 & WinNT users connect to Samba shares and work. Occasionally, users report not being able to view the Samba server in which case I have them map a drive manually or do a "find computer". There are times when this does not work. I take a look at the logs ($SAMBA/var/log.machine_name) and see many entries containing the following error: [2000/04/06 15:12:18, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:getsmbfilepwent(164) getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no :) By the time I walk over to the users workstation, the problem resolves itself. I have the smb.conf file pointing to our PDC for password authentication: encrypt passwords = yes password server = 198.3.200.36 Can someone help?
I get the following lines when I use smbpasswd.Does anybody knows this error?(Actually password changes.) New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) Password changed for user acarg. ?eref Tufan ?en ITU-BIDB tufan@itu.edu.tr 285 39 30 Public-gpg-key : http://atlas.cc.itu.edu.tr/~tufan/tufan.key

Can you change the root passwd? If you can and you can not change any other, try removing the file /etc/.pwd.lock and try changing a users password. Hope this helps.
