hi, I didn't see this in the digest, so it may not have made it to the list
...
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"
... 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: 2000/06/19 12:43:05
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup interfaces = [machine's IP]/22 127.0.0.1
encrypt passwords = Yes
debug level = 2
guest account
[homes]
browseable = No
[mcrobert]
path = /home/mcrobert
writeable = Yes
[jlange]
path = /home/temp
... the relevant lines from the /var/log/smb file (at log-level 2) are:
