samba - Dec 2010 - cant login with my samba password only with my linux password

Hello,

I have a strange problem with my samba server. When I try to connect
with my (Windows)client and samba ask for the password, it's only
accepting my linux-user password, not my samba-user password (set with
smbpasswd and as root with smbpasswd <user>).

And now the strange about it. When i change my sambapassword with
smbpasswd, and try to login from my client, then the samba-user password
is accepted. But after a reboot of my samba server, the server accepts
only the linux-user password. I have to (re)set the samba-user password
again with smbpasswd and only after that, I can login with the
samba-user password.

Is there something wrong with my smb.conf (see below)? Or what else
could be the problem?


-------------
smb.conf:
[global]
#       debuglevel = 1
       workgroup = Gruppe
       server string = Datastring
       wins support = no
       dns proxy = no

       interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24 127.0.0.1/8
       bind interfaces only = yes

       log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
       max log size = 1000
       syslog = 0
       security = user
       encrypt passwords = true
       passdb backend = tdbsam
       obey pam restrictions = yes
       unix password sync = no
       pam password change = no
       map to guest = bad user
       domain logons = no
       load printers = no
       domain master = no
       usershare allow guests = no

       vfs objects = recycle
       recycle: repository = .trash.bin
       recycle: keeptree = Yes
       recycle:versions = Yes

[lager]
       comment = Lager
       path = /media/lager_hdd
       public = no
       valid users = user1
       read only = no
       browseable = no

I can't see any way that, with your configuration, samba could be
using your linux password as a samba password.  You would have to be
using plain text passwords in windows have samba authenticate it
against your linux password.    Is it really using your "linux"
password, or at some point was your samba password the same as your
linux password?

Or did you configure pam or nsswitch.conf to have linux authenticate
against "windows" passwords?

Did you try running "testparm -v" in case there are some parameters
with unexpected defaults?

Did you try disabling "obey pam restrictions?"  Maybe that is
preventing the password change?

Now it's solved. I had to remove the libpam-smbpass package. Thanks to
Tom from the Ubuntu list ;)
