similar to: security level flags...

Hia, I have a problem using the %G parameter. At the end if my smb.conf file I have something like: include = \etc\smb.conf.%G At this way I hoped that according the the group, I can load a configuration file accoring the the users group. Instead that a 'smb.conf.it' group is loaded, a samba tries to load 'smb.conf.nogroup' (guest account is uid=nobody gid=nogroup) WHat I

my customer wants to export both users' home directories and a public one; as far as the home dirs are concerned, my customer wants the system asks for user's login & password before providing access to grant privacy but wants no password for the public one: is this possible? I tried setting security mode to user (security = user) in the global settings thinkig this would make the

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

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@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical

Hi, I'm using samba-3.0.28-0.fc8. I'm trying to build a file server for 100 users. I created a perl script that automatically adds the 100 users plus their passwords with 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

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 anyway (with the -a 'add user' option), without ever having run

Hi, I have samba installed on my Linux system (Red Hat 7.2), and Windows 98 on another PC as a Samba client. Samba works 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

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

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

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

Hello Everyone! I've spent quite a bit trying to get these shares to work just right. I'll past the output of my smb.conf at the end of this message. If anyone has any advice 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

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

Hi, I am having some troubles setting samba up nicely on my Slackware 7.1 machine. It is currently just a web/ftp server mainly for my personal use at home. I downloaded the tarball samba-2.0.7 and did everything to install it "properly." I edited services to include: netbios-ns 137/tcp # NETBIOS Name Service netbios-ns 137/udp netbios-dgm

I just don't understand why must it be so difficult to configure samba to work with an Microsoft environment? I admit I am new to Unix/linux but not new to networking or pc's for that matter. I've followed as many of the instructions that were given to me, as I possibly could, but I still can't seem to get my MS environment to connect to my samba server. I have chosen to use the
