[Samba] Changing from Domain security to User authentication - How To ?
Hi All, I am new to SAMBA so please be patient! I currently have SAMBA installed with the following specified in the smb.conf workgroup is specified as XX security is specified as DOMAIN encrypt passwords is set to YES password server is set to SOMESERVER WINS server is specified as: 1.2.3.4 Everything is working well. The NT people are going to be upgrading to Active Directory over the next while. While this is on the go we will have "multiple domains" , so what I would like to do is to change the user authentication from DOMAIN to rather be such that a user has a password that they must enter when conecting to Samba (or it will connect if the network and Samba passwords are in sync). Can someone please tell me the following: A) How I can go about doing this? What changes I need to make to the smb.conf and also how do I specify passwords for the users or will it keep the ones they currently have specified, etc? B) What version of Samba do I need to be running to achieve this? I am currently running Samba version 2.0.7 Regards, Alan.
