hi, I've had this problem for a while and can't seem to get around it
...
When a normal user tries to change his/her passwd using smbpasswd or SWAT,
they get the following error:
"machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session setup. Error was : ERRSRV -
ERRbadpw
(Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or
Session Setup are invalid.).
Failed to change password for mcrobert"
the last line of the /var/log/smb file is:
"[2000/06/15 10:44:47, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(988)
Username is invalid on this system"
... but the users are contained in the smbpasswd file & the /etc/passwd
file. What's happenin' here???!!? I'm using a bare bones smb.conf
file:
shown below:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from [my machine]
# Date: 2000/06/16 16:21:12
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup guest account
[homes]
browseable = No
[mcrobert]
path = /home/mcrobert
writeable = Yes
TIA
Andrew
