...ferences? I'm striking out. The smbpasswd file *does* have to become smbpasswd.org_dir for samba to work. I first created the smbpasswd file using niscat passwd.org_dir | mksmbpasswd.sh which created smbpasswd. I ran mknissmbpwdtbl.sh to make the nis+ table, then cat'd smbpasswd through mknissmbpasswd.sh to populate the nis+ table smbpasswd.org_dir. When I try to change passwords for a user as root I get this: [root] % /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd oman New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: make_sam_from_nisp_object: malformed LM pwd entry. Failed to find entry for user oman. Failed to m...

...mba is currently running using Plain Text passwords accessing the NIS+ database and I have "update encrypted = Yes" set so that the current SMB encrypted passwords can be updated as people connect to file services over the next couple of weeks. I've used mknissmbpwdtbl.sh, and edited mknissmbpasswd.sh to change gcos to full_name and home to home_dir, then populated the smbpasswd.org_dir directory from passwd.org_dir using mknissmbpasswd.sh. The problem I now have is that when I run "smbpasswd username" to change a users encrypted password I get the following error message. tcsh&gt...

...39;t login. Everything seems fine and I have Samba working on my AIX machines. I compiled with NIS+ support even though I am using NIS and it did not work so then I compiled without support and same error. I am using encrypted passwords since that is what NT is using. I used both mksmbpasswd and mknissmbpasswd to populate the smbpasswd file but when I try to change a users smb password I get the error: make_sam_from_nisresult: NIS+ lookup failure:Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file...is NIS+ installed? I don't think I am going to be able to log in from NT until I can, at least, change a passwor...

...y regular unix database (password.org_dir) - or do I have to make an NIS+ table for the smbpasswd file (smbpasswd.org_dir). I'm not finding much in the way of docs on this specifically. I need to get past this to get on with the rest of the connections and printing stuff. What are the scripts mknissmbpasswd.sh and mknissmbpwdtbl.sh in the source tree's script subdirectory? mknissmbpasswd.sh looks like it builds the smbpasswd.org_dir table - is this essential? I'm using encryption, and here's a copy of my smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = STILLWATER workgroup = COMPSCI serv...

...h a slew of nisplus_initialize_* functions) and quickly gave up. Then I noticed in the CVS source's script directory there was a mknissmbpwdtbl.sh. After running it, I now have an empty smbpasswd.org_dir table. I thought this might fix my smbpasswd problem, but it didn't. I also ran the mknissmbpasswd.sh script, but it referenced some field called gcos that the table creation script didn't make. Since these sources were from CVS I didn't give too much thought -- CVS is broken a lot, I realize that. I would _so much_ appreciate any direction on this. Eventually I would like to set up...

Hi all, I'm a little confused over what exactly the NISPLUS and NISPLUS_HOME support options actually mean. I'm hoping somebody can shed a little light on this. Our main samba server is a Solaris 2.7 machine (using NIS+ for passwords, etc, etc.) running samba 2.0.5a. I have recently been investigating a problem where, after a reboot of the server, various 3rd party products (POP, IMAP,

I just installed Samba for the first time. Installed and setup like a dream. Unfortunately, I can't login to save my life. The server appears in the Net. Neighborhood, but when I double-click to login, the login window give the following message: Incorrect password or unknown username for \\SERVERNAME Entering a username and password (from /etc/passwd) returns: \\SERVERNAME is not

...T, then smbpasswd, and both returned errors of "failing to add 'joeuser'". In going back to the source directory where I first installed Samba, I came across some "nis" scripts that look like they can be used to add users automatically to the smbpasswd file. First I ran mknissmbpasswd.sh: # niscat passwd.org_dir | ./mknissmbpasswd.sh > /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd smbpasswd.org_dir.asas.ast.lmco.com.: Not found. smbpasswd.org_dir.asas.ast.lmco.com.: Not found. smbpasswd.org_dir.asas.ast.lmco.com.: Not found. smbpasswd.org_dir.asas.ast.lmco.com.: Not found.

I guess so do I ;-) Using the new approach I posted to samba-list earlier today, it is not really all that tricky any more. Watch for my reports on the list, you may be able to implement what I've done
