similar to: 1.9.18p4 smbpasswd and unix sync with sunos 5.5 nis server

no complaints, just a little something that i noticed with smbpasswd in 1.9.18p4 that is not clear from the documentation (WHATSNEW.txt or the smbpasswd man page)... if you try to change your samba password without specifying the remote hostname (-r hostname) the connection is from/to localhost and it will fail unless you have localhost in your 'hosts allow' setting in smb.conf. you will

I have a problem with 2.0.5 that did not happen in 2.0.4b or previous releases. I am seeing thousands of these messages in log.smb: [1999/07/20 23:44:24, 0] lib/util_str.c:string_sub(1095) ERROR: string overflow by 7 in string_sub(%M, 967) and the smbd process seems to be stuck in a tight loop. It's caused by the variable substitutions in these lines from smb.conf: root preexec = [ %U

this isn't strictly a samba question, but it is related in that i'm trying to a samba server as my domain master browser and multiple samba servers as local master browsers for a workgroup across multiple subnets. everything seems to be working wonderfully except for one WfWG host which does not show up in the browse list as expected. i notice that this host is announcing itself as a

anyone running samba-2.0.5a on a solaris 7 5/99 system and noticed this problem? this samba was built on a solaris 2.5 system and was running fine on a solaris 7 3/99 system. when i installed the solaris 7 5/99 maintenance update something broke. log.smb: [1999/08/06 11:04:41, 1] smbd/server.c:main(628) smbd version 2.0.5a started.

samba-2.0.0beta5 built on Solaris 2.5 with gcc-2.7.2 running on Solaris 2.5.1 I'm trying to track down a problem I'm having using unix password sync in samba-2.0.0beta5. I've noticed some funkiness with the SIGCLD handling in smbd/chgpasswd.c. It seems that after an smbpasswd is run and unix password sync is being used, an smbd is left behind, rapidly spinning it wheels. A truss of

please reply to me directly and i'll summarise answers to the list (i wish people would make a habit of this - it would help reduce the volume on this list and make searching for answers easier). samba server running samba-2.0.6 windows nt 4 + sp6 running ms word 97 i have a share on the samba server defined as: [sharename] path = /some/path valid users = @somegroup write list = @somegroup

this is how i do it... after installing netscape on an nt workstation, set these registry keys: \Registry\Machine\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Users = CurrentUser = Default Default DirRoot = h:\.netscape UserName = EmailAddr = then add something like this to your nt workstation logon script: rem copy netscape preferences file if it doesn't exist.

I posted my original question below to the samba-ntdom list but it seems to be the wrong place to be discussing this problem so I'm moving my follow-up to these lists. Background...I used to be using smbpasswd and the "unix password sync", "password chat", and "password program" settings to keep my smb passwords and unix passwords in sync. This was working well

I've attached a perl script that I wrote to build smbpasswd from /etc/passwd. Please note that this writes a samba-2.0 format smbpasswd file. This script will: # - create accounts that exist in /etc/passwd and not in smbpasswd # - remove accounts that exist in smbpasswd and not in /etc/passwd # - preserve existing password, flags and LCT fields in smbpasswd # - sets new account passwords to

a plea to anyone who is using ms word from ms office 97 to access word documents on a samba 2.0.6 server from nt workstation 4 clients... can you send me the relevant smb.conf section for any samba shares that you use to read and write shared ms word documents? i'd like to know if you're doing anything funky with locking or something like that. i'm trying to allow a group to share

if i have a host with a particular ip address running as a domain master browser and registered as such with my wins server, and then i change the ip address of this host, does the old registration with the wins server eventually go away so that the new ip address can be registered? if so, how long should this take? how would one force the old ip address to be forgotten? -- Todd Pfaff

Hi everyone, It seems to me that smbpasswd does not work for normal users in Samba version 1.9.18p4. If I invoke it as root, then there is no problem with it, but if I invoke it as a normal user, then I get the following: $ smbpasswd -D 99 Old SMB password: New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 139 write_socket(3,76) write_socket(3,76) wrote 76 Sent session

Hello, does somebody have a tool to convert a /etc/passwd to a smbpasswd with getting a valid Lan Manager and NT hash. or does anybody have a trick, how I can synchronise the /etc/passwd with the smbpasswd without changing a unix passwd twice (passwd,smbpasswd).

Pam_SMB allows Linux clients to validate their passwords against an NT PDC, so the only thing you have to do is set up the accounts on the Linux side with an '*' in the /etc/passwd entry. This can be done using a list of users: #!/bin/bash for i in `cat myuserlist`; do /usr/sbin/adduser -p '*' $i with various other command line options, such as "-s

Hi there! I have a Samba 2.2.2 PDC on linux 2.4.13 with ACL (acl.bestbits.at) support installed. There seems to be a problem with Roaming Profiles. Win2k with local NTFS filesystem will never delete roaming profiles (yes, I have regedited the DeleteRoamingCache to 1). In fact, any time TheUser logs back in, a new folder named TheUser.OURDOMAIN.??? (where ? is an integer) will be created,

We've recently started using samba-3.0.23d on Mandriva 2007.0 linux systems and we've noticed a change in behaviour of smbpasswd when a non-root user tries to change their password from "NO PASSWORD". Here's an example smbpasswd entry (all one line): testuser:12345:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[NU ]:LCT-00000000: The

Hi, Anyone know where I can get a .tar.gz of 2.0.2? I'd like this version, since the PDC code is reportedly more stable than 2.0.3. Or has this been fixed in 2.0.3?
