mksmbpasswd.sh does not create accounts with the X flag in the password flags field. Does this X matter, and if so, what does it mean? It's not in the man page. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@...

I see that mksmbpasswd.sh (plus a little editing) would be a good way to set up users with "NO PASSWORD" in bulk. But suppose I don't want the risk of the "NO PASSWORD" approach. Now somebody with root access must run smbpasswd for each user they want to activate. But can't I just do this a...

Hallo, i installed samba V2.0.3 on a linux server in a company. for better security i will use encypted passwords. for synchronisation of the unix password file and the samba password file i tried out the script mksmbpasswd script. my security settings at the server are easy and i set the permissions of the unix passwd file at 774 and also my smbpasswd file at 744. starting the script with the command: cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >/usr/local/samba/private the only message i get is: "permission denied&quo...

Hi all, Reading through ENCRYPTION.txt it says to do the following: cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd However, on my Samba-2.05a install (onto RH 6.0), /usr/local/samba doesn't exist. Instead, all the files listed in ENCRYPTION.txt and WinNT.txt are in the /usr/bin directory. Amongst other things, this means I can't set the recommended security pe...

Never mind, I figured this one out (I think!). Here is what I ran [System: RedHat 7.0/Samba 2.0.7ssl on P-90] cat /etc/passwd | /usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh >> smbpasswd (After backing-up the current 'smbpasswd', of course) This seemed to do the trick, however, all of the accounts where disabled by default. I figured this to be the intended behavior (for security with system accounts and the such). If there is any major proble...

All I have my samba setup working with PDC roaming profiles etc, but so I dont have to manually type everyone's password into smbpasswd. Could someone please email me mksmbpasswd.sh, for the life of me I cant find it anywhere to download it. Im running Solaris 8, such a pain if I don't have it. Thanks nn advance Philip M Grisedale

Hi all, Quick question, is it possible to take an existing /etc/passwd file and run it through mksmbpasswd.sh (or some other script) to update a smbpasswd file? I am asking this because everytime we change a password or add or delete usernames on a machine, it would seem we have to do the same thing to change th samba password file, and I'm hopeing there is an easier way..... thanks, jeff pajor@...

...success. Now I'm having difficulty creating a script using the smbpasswd command because passwords must be entered in stdin. I also tried smbpasswd -s option but it asks passwd in stdin. Is there a way that I can use the command smbpasswd plus the user password in one line? Also, I read about mksmbpasswd.sh and test it but it did not work at all. My smb.conf contains: smb passwd file = /etc/samba/sambapassword and did: cat /etc/passwd | grep test | /usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/sambapassword Is there a way for me to sync the userpassword and smbpasswd? Help me please. -Iris Lames

...ently running a SUN SparcStation with Solaris 2.7 and Samba 2.0.3 Samba runs as domain master and i got security=user and i enabled plain text password on PCs but those Win98 boxes are unable to change their password ( password fail) So i want to try with encrypted password but i can't find mksmbpasswd.sh. Can anyone tell me where to find it ( NOT in source please, i tried unsucessfuly), or send it to me ? Or does anyone know how to change Win98 non-encrypted password from client box ?

...orks great if PlainTextPassword is enabled. However, if PlainTextPassword is disabled on Windows client, connection to the Samba shares no longer accepted. I believe I've done everything in order to make encrypt passwd working: * I converted /etc/passwd to /etc/samba/smbpasswd using mksmbpasswd.sh script. cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > smbpasswd This resulted in a new smbpasswd file: -rw------- 1 root root 4202 May 21 12:06 smbpasswd I feel a little uncomfortable about the file permission, there I change the...

...e on this, that would be great. My first problem is that I'm trying to sync up my /etc/passwd with the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. (I'm using Mandrake 9.0 and Samba 2.2.6-1.0.pre2.2.mdk. Mandrake puts the smbpasswd file in the /etc/samba directory. When I do this command cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd It does create a smbpasswd file. However, then None of the users can log in to the shares. I can log into the win98 client, and then see the user's home directory, the care directory, and the public directory but can't log in to them. I've also tried to c...

Solution: Well, either you may convince NT via its Windows registry to use plaintext passwords There is a script in the samba source package called mksmbpasswd.sh. This is for creating a "special" password file out of the existing one. mksmbpasswd.sh: #!/bin/sh awk 'BEGIN {FS=":" printf("#\n# SMB password file.\n#\n") } { printf( "%s:%s:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:%s: %s:%s\n&q...

Could somebody please explain just how one is supposed to set up samba users, groups and passwords so connections can be established to Win2k clients to connect to FBSD samba server for file sharing and to use cups for printing. I am afraid that the manuals and config files and various examples I have found on the Internet are quite confusing. How is the Windows username/passord related to

My /usr/local/samba19/lib/users.map file says: nvod = Administrator admin and I've run the following command to generate the smbpasswd file: cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /usr/local/samba19/private/smbpasswd as it is written in docs/ENCRYPTION.txt file. The result instead, after I start smbd & nmbd daemons is that I'm requested to provide login and password to access to the whole and not only to the user home dir; also, I cannot connect to nvod ne...

Hi I hope I've posted this to the correct place. I've installed Samba 2.2.4 on a Caldera Open Unix 8 server, and created a basic smbd.conf file. When I launch smbd as a daemon, I'm getting the following in the log file: passdb/secrets.c: (43) failed to open /usr/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb passdb/machine_sid.c: (163) pdb_generate_sam_sid: Failed to store generated machine SID

I also followed the instructions to synchronize my Linux passwords with the samba passwords (or something to that effect) with the following command: cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd >/usr/bin/smbpasswd That command seems to work correctly, because it just returns with a command prompt, no errors. I have created (for the sake of simplicity) a users called "Administrator" in linux to coincide with my Administrator in windows NT 4.0 WKS. Both are using the same pa...
