Hello, i've got a Redhat 8.0 installation. I tried to configure my linux box to run the samba server and share some dirs and a printer. When i try to connect from a Windows machine, the request fails and the log says: unable to open passdb database. The same result i get if trying to run smbpasswd <user_name> from the linux box itself. What can i do? Do you need any additional info? maq
Check the permissions and location of your passwd file? Normally it is in /etc/passwd maraqas wrote:> Hello, > i've got a Redhat 8.0 installation.
