I have a rather unique setup. I would like to simply use the existing UNIX /etc/passwd file for my authentication without having an smbpasswd file existing. does anyone know how to do this?
If you don't need encryption (or Win2k support), that'll work just fine. If you do need encryption or Win2k support, you are SOL as they say. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 On Tue, 3 Jun 2003, Erik Soderquist wrote:> I have a rather unique setup.

In you smb.conf file [globals] set "encrypted passwords = No". Done. Now, what are you hoping to do with this setting? Depending on what you want to achieve this may not work.

i don't need encryption. what parts of win2k support would cause a problem, and can those part of win2k be changed/disabled? -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Novosielski [mailto:novosirj@umdnj.edu] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 15:18 To: Samba List (E-mail) Subject: Re: [Samba] UNIX passwords If you don't need encryption (or Win2k support), that'll work just fine.

thanks. problem solved -----Original Message----- From: Ron Bombard [mailto:ronb@nativetextiles.com] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 13:35 To: Erik Soderquist Subject: RE: [Samba] UNIX passwords I use my unix /etc/passwd file for auth. I've never used smbpasswd. I just set security = user, and encrypt pass = no. On the win2k machines, you have to enable sending clear passwd to smb clients. easy.> i don't need encryption. what parts of win2k support would cause a > problem, and can those part of win2k be changed/disabled? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ryan Novosielski [mailto:novosirj@umdnj.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 15:18 > To: Samba List (E-mail) > Subject: Re: [Samba] UNIX passwords > > > If you don't need encryption (or Win2k support), that'll work justfine.> If you do need encryption or Win2k support, you are SOL as they say. > > ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ > |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX SystemsAdmin> |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 > (2-0922) > \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - > C630 > > On Tue, 3 Jun 2003, Erik Soderquist wrote: > > > I have a rather unique setup.
