similar to: smbpasswd in 2.0 - problems

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

Hi, I have successfully installed Samba on a Solaris2.7 system and created the smbpasswd file using mksmbpasswd.sh Now I want to set passwords for all users. But when I try to run "smbpasswd" or "smbpasswd username" as root the following error message occurs: -------------- make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file... is NIS+ installed?

Hi, I am running samba on linux and solaris 2.6. I have no problem making encrypted passwords work on linux meaning I have Windows 98 and NT users able to map a drive to their home directories on the samba server. I am having problems doing the same thing on solaris 2.6. I have run the mksmbpasswd.sh and the smbpasswd file got created. I have added the following lines to my smb.conf file:

How do i unsubscribe??

Hi, I saw a similar question to this one in the samba list archives, but there was no answer so I'm going to ask it again. I'm running Samba 2.0.5a on Solaris 2.6 using NIS+, I've compiled it with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home. Samba is currently running using Plain Text passwords accessing the NIS+ database and I have "update encrypted = Yes" set so that the current

I downloaded and installed the binary 2.03 Solaris 2.7 version of Samba three days ago from the Samba web page. I installed as root on my SUN Ultra5 unix system. I have accessed your configuration tool via http://<my unix ip>:901. I logged in as root, and have been able to set up global items and shares. I cannot setup new users under the 'passwords' tab. I enter my user name,

Hi everyone, Let me briefly describe my setup. I work at a small university and we are setting up 3 labs. 2 are filled with Ultra Sparc 5's, and the 3rd will be filled with PCs running NT4 workstation. We have an Enterprise Server 3500 running NIS+ to authenticate the Unix labs (or rather we will, once I get it working), and I'd like to set up Samba to authenticate the NT labs using

I am using Samba version 3.0.10-1.fc2. It is configured as an NT domain controller and has been working well. I needed to add a routed (over VPN) connection to the system but cannot get the routed clients to access the browse list. The clients are all Windows XP professional. The remote client is not a domain member. All clients work when directly connected to the Samba server (broadcast),

Dear Samba List, I have been running a Samba PDC (Win 2000 & XP Clients) for about 1 year without problems. Now I find I cannot add new PCs to the domain, existing accounts are working fine. It seems to be a rights issue, but I am not sure quite how to analyse it. All attempts to add a computer account result in "unknown user or wrong password" (translated from German, may not be

Hi, I've been using rsync (V 3.09) in non-daemon mode for a while to backup and/or sync various linux machines (sometimes to & from windows shares). I would like to reduce the stuff in my log files to the minimum (as I see it) and cannot find the appropriate parameters to rsync. I can obviously turn all logging off, but would like to see just the names (with path is ok, but not

Dear List, I seem to have created myself a problem to which I can't find an answer. I am using Dovecot (0.99.13-4.FC2 on Fedora Core 2) with Mozilla Thunderbird on Windows XP and Linux as IMAP client software. I renamed a folder to a name that included spaces (it fitted the pupose better), then later realised that I would have to change my procmail rules to suit. As I wasn't sure what

Thanks for the replies.... I am stuck on the second step of your list... I do not have a smbpasswd file, so I am not sure how I can create on... also, when I run smbpasswd (the executable) as root, I get the

Hi all, I know this has probably been spoke about before, but I'm looking for some documentation or other info on setting up NIS+ with samba.... I currently have samba running on the NIS+ master, but am having trouble setting up authentication again the NIS+ passwd tables. I'm also not exactly sure where smbpasswd comes into play with NIS+ and if I actually need to run that everytime I

I am trying to get Samba working under Solaris 8 with NIS (not plus) on this. My NT machine and the Sun machine pass all of the diagnostics and I can see the exported drives but can'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

Hello, I'm new to samba. Trying to get it running on Solaris on Intel using NIS+. I configured it with the --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. I don't seem to be able to get authentication to work. I've created the smbpasswd file from my nis+ tables, set the perms per the docs (encryption.txt to name one) and when I try to run smbpasswd to set a password for

I'm a little less new to samba now - but having a heck of a time getting authentication to work. I'm running NIS+, configured samba with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. Does anyone have some good nis/samba references? 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

Hello, I have 20 Solaris 2.6-servers with NIS+ in different cities and countries and a lot of NT4 servers in different domains and I use samba with nis+ support on the Solaris-enviroment to let the NT-users access their unix-home-directories. The NT-clients has to send their passwords in "clear-text" to access their directories. Their NT-username is the same as their Unix-username (the

Hi, The current method of hard coding at compile time which password database Samba is to use is a little inconvenient. The same binaries cannot be used for files/NIS+/LDAP. An extra samba.conf option eg. database files nis+ ldap could be used to give the databases allowed and the preferred search order. If the default was: database files then the compile options with_nisplus and with _ldap

Hello, I am having a very aggrivating problem, and I will try and provide all of the necessary information. I have openssh-3.7.1p2 with openssl-0.9.6k installed on Solaris 8. Here is what I've been able to determine so far: 1. Local account authentication works fine (non-NIS+). 1a. NIS+ is running at security level 2 2. Telnet authentication works fine. 2a. When I use the SSH client,
