similar to: password change problem

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

I'm currently investigating the appearance of this error message for a significant number of our users' password change attempts. It would seem from my research that this error occurs when the data coming from the SamOEMhash function is not of the expected format/value. I do not know if this would be due to incorrect data being sent into the SamOEMhash function from the client or something

Have there been any problems reported with running 2.0.2 on servers using security=server with a 1.9.18p10 DMB? We've run into a situation where I've upgraded 4 of our servers to 2.0.2 but the DMB is still running 1.9.18p10. We have had sporatic trouble with the upgraded servers rejecting correct passwords because the DMB seemingly would not properly validate them. Today, we ran into a

I saw a little discussion about this a few weeks ago but nothing concrete. We're running samba-1.9.18p8 under Solaris 2.6x86. I am periodically getting the following in the logfiles, usually _many_ at a time: 1998/11/03 14:42:00 request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 5411 on port 40884 for dev = 1980040, inode = 33c4d When I look up the PID (in this case

In 2.0.4b using a 16-bit client (in this case Lanman for DOS), disk space reporting for partitions greater than 2GB always reports 0 space free. I've tracked this down to the disk_norm routine in the smbd/dfree.c file. In the code for adjusting block size and disk size/free values for 16-bit reporting, WORDMAX was incorrectly being multiplied by 512 before being compared with bsize. This

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.

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

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'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

I was running 1.9.18p10 on a test DEC Unix 4.0d box here and I decided to give 2.0beta3 a try. For some reason, I cannot connect to any of the server's shares or even get a list of it's services (via Start->Run->\\server) from Win95 clients. It asks for a password and no matter what I put in there I get "The password is not correct. Try again." I configured Beta3 a la:
