[Samba] where samba stored passwords in tdbsam backend?
Hello I use the backend tdbsam. I have just imported users from smbpasswd backend pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam in global section I set passdb backend = tdbsam I use policy (pdbedit -P maximum and minimum password age) to change passwords every three months and when the passwords were changed none of the files (smbpasswd ,passdb.tdb , secrets.tdb in /var/lib/samba/private) has not changed eg. date, size, touch !!! Where samba stored passwords ? I try to hack passwords so I used old smbpasswd style to printing out the accounts and passwords pdbedit -Lw > passwords I used cisilia password cracker to find out whether passwords are really changed (in exported file passwords) and I was suprised when I see that's was all old passwords !!! How it is possible when i applied password history policy ?? pdbedit - P "password history" -C 3 So how can I check whether passwords are really changed ?? And which files stores passwords in tdbsam backend ???? How can I export from tdbsam.tdb (by commandline) passwords to plaintext to find out passwords was really changed ? samba version 3.0.28-0.fc7 PDC security =user ---------------------------------------------------- Do?aduj si? nagrodami!
