I need to know where SAMBA stores the information to allow users to connect to the server with password encryption enabled. I have checked /etc/samba/smbpasswd with no luck. Thanks -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I checked and for my version this is not the case. I am using RHEL 5.4 server edition. I did find .tdb files in /etc/samba. I tried to view the files using vim but no joy. I need a file that I can edit using vi or gedit and avoid the gui tool or a way to import the data from a text file.

Hallo, John, Du meintest am 07.10.09:>> I need to know where SAMBA stores the information to allow users to >> connect to the server with password encryption enabled. >> I have checked /etc/samba/smbpasswd with no luck. >>> I believe these are stored in .tdb files in> /var/lib/samba"*.tdb" looks like "passdb backend = tdbsam", not like "passdb backend = smbpasswd". Viele Gruesse! Helmut
you can always run "smbd -b" and check the first part of the output for the various paths your version is using Richard Clemens wrote:> I need to know where SAMBA stores the information to allow users to > connect to the server with password encryption enabled. > I have checked /etc/samba/smbpasswd with no luck. > > Thanks >
