I'm trying to get win9x clients to connect to a Samba 2.0.4b server on FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE. Some of these machines have Windows logins different from the Unix user on the server, and the smb.conf manpage suggests that the "share%username" hack should be used in this case. This seems to work fine on my old 1.9.18p8 server, but not on any of the newer ones. With debug level 5 I see

Hello, all.. I'm running into some weird password problems with Samba 2.0.5a. Here's what I'm *trying* to do. I have several Linux & Sun boxes that I'd like to share their resources with various DOS/Win9x PCs. I don't want to have to maintain password files on each of the these. Currently, the Unix passwords are shared via NIS, with a SunOS box as the master. What I

Dear Listmembers, apparently my attachement was not distributed via the list, therefore I add it once again to this email; plain text following my question. Many thanks for any suggestion in advance: I am using a SPARC ULTRA 60 / running SuSE sparc linux 7.3 as server for our M$-Network. I recently installed samba-2.2.8a from SuSE (compiled src-rpm), since then I am facing problems when attaching

I'm having problems accessing Samba shares from my XP Pro machine. Samba 2.2.7 is installed on two Redhat 8.0 machines and configured using SWAT. I have user level security and encrypted passwords setup. I have a printer shared on both servers as well as home directories and one restricted access share. My printers are setup for guest access so all machines will always be able to print.

Hi ... I am desperate now to solve this problem ... this is my absolute last resort attempt! I have read of the problem on a number of posts/newsgroups/webpages - but there a very little solutions - or causes - none of the solutions have worked for me! Basically my samba is happily running and I can connect to it fine from 9x clients and from 2k client as a workgroup. However..... If I try to

what is the 'passwd chat' line for Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 on Debian Woody that enables password synchronisation with Windows 2000 clients in a domain? I currently have this in smb.conf but it doesn't work: unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n I get the Windows message

Trying to join a SAMBA domain from Win2K SP3. It fails the password check for 'root' as per the log entries below, then it defaults to 'nobody' which then tries to run 'useradd' to add the windows machine name, failing, of course. I tried this both with lanman auth = yes and no... encrypt password = yes I can connect to Samba shares just fine from windows using

Hello, I have 2.2.6.p2 installed as a PDC and there are around ten PCs(Win2k sp2 and 3) in this domain. Everything works fine and recently I tried to add two extra PCs in this domain, but Win2k PC generates an error message saying "The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "hm": No mapping between account names and security IDs was done". As usual

I'd like to change Samba passwords from win95 and NT4 clients. I use security=user. I don't give shell access to every user, so they can't use smbpasswd. I've tested from a win95 client with the precompiled samba-2.0.4b.i386.rpm: net pass \\greg greg test1 test2 I'd used smbpasswd to change greg's password to test1 on host greg prior to this. Here's the smbpasswd

Could somebody please help me with the following problem. I am running samba 2.0.6 on redhat 6.1.

Hi! I know this is about the most asked question on these lists. I've been searching the archives looking for an answer, but all I can find is the same question over and over... I'm trying to get the Unix Password Sync option to work on my server. I'm running RH 6.0, with MD5 and shadowed passwords enabled, and Samba 2.0.5a (the RPM version). When I try to change passwords using

Hi folks, I'am using Samba 2.0.0 on a Linux and a Sun box and i have the following problem: I can log in from a smbclient but not from an NT Client using Security=Domain. 1.) Doubleclick on the machine opens the password dialouge (which should'n appear, beacuse i'am already logged in the domain) Enter my domainusername and password. Window dissapears and appears again and forces me

Hi all I am sure that there is some mention of this error in the docs somewhere but I could not find it. So, sorry for repeating it here. I have installed samba 2.0.3 on solaris 2.5.1 I carried out all the tests described in the documentation. They were all successful.

still trying to solve my domain-problems (from time to time I get 'domain controller cant be found' on a special sambaserver 2.2.3a) Why does samba complain about wrong password for user nobody ? I actually found "nobody" in smbpasswd, but I'm not sure if I put it in there and dont understand why nobody needs to be samba-user. imho nobody is the unix-account under which

I have a Sparc Ultra-2 running Solaris 2.7 and Samba version 2.0.5 Most of the time everything works fine, Win95 & WinNT users connect to Samba shares and work. Occasionally, users report not being able to view the Samba server in which case I have them map a drive manually or do a "find computer". There are times when this does not work. I take a look at the logs

Hi, We have Samba 2.2.6(+2.2.7 security patch) installed on solaris. Samba is used as PDC for WinNT and Win2K clients. The WinNT machines have no problems geting into the domain as machine trust accounts exist in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd file. However, Win2k clients are not able to join the domain. I did go through the documentation, and hence created root account in 'smbpasswd'

Hi: I'm trying to integrate Samba and LDAP (Samba working as a PDC). While trying to add a computer to the domain, this is what I get (This is not a production server, so there is no problem with password revealing): [2003/05/28 18:59:00, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:get_single_attribute(435) get_single_attribute: [userWorkstations] = [<does not exist>] [2003/05/28 18:59:00, 2]

Dear all, I am including a part of the text from smb.log. I have followed the instructions in "Using Samba" but to no avail. I have checked through the troubleshooting chapter which directed me to the logs initially, but has nothing specific to say about bad news contained therein. The output of the log makes it clear that the problem is related to the smp_passwd file but I am not
