-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, First, I have to commend O'Reilly for publishing their excellent book on line. After reading through Chapter 7 yesterday, I was finally able to get Samba up and running on my NT domain using encrypted passwords and domain security. Naturally, something broke yesterday around the time wins was set. In earlier versions of smb.conf, I

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

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

All I have my samba setup working with PDC roaming profiles etc, but so I dont have to manually type everyone's password into smbpasswd. 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

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

Never mind, I figured this one out (I think!). Here is what I ran [System: RedHat 7.0/Samba 2.0.7ssl on P-90] cat /etc/passwd | /usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh >> smbpasswd (After backing-up the current 'smbpasswd', of course) This seemed to do the trick, however, all of the accounts where disabled by default. I figured this to be the intended behavior (for security with system

I 'm currently running a SUN SparcStation with Solaris 2.7 and Samba 2.0.3 Samba runs as domain master and i got security=user and i enabled plain text password on PCs but those Win98 boxes are unable to change their password ( password fail) So i want to try with encrypted password but i can't find mksmbpasswd.sh. Can anyone tell me where to find it ( NOT in source please, i tried

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 need to use a samba server (linux redhat 6.0 ) from a diskless dos machine ( has a floppy drive for booting) . So i need a very little tcp-ip stack for dos and a client for a NT server on dos so that they will be small enough to be on a 1.44 system floppy. Is that possible ? Paul

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

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

I followed almost step by step Stephen's suggesions but I wasn't able to have samba working the way I need. The following is what I put in my smb.conf file. #================== Global Settings ========================== [global] workgroup = Rm-Soluzioni server string = Samba Server guest account = pcguest security = user log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m max log size =

Hi to you all, I'm setting up a network to where I have Linux and W2k Active Directory.I have Redhat 8.0 and i want it to see and access file between the two OS'S. I downloaded the latest samba binaries 3.0.2 and edit the smb.conf.How do i know if my linux will act as a samba server? Should i select "everything" when i load redhat again or should i just continue what i have

Hi listmembers, due to a few very short but good tips from you guys and to much hassle with my firewall (ipchains) I finally got samba running as a server and client (I even made an update from source, just with normal ./configure, make, make install after uninstalling the previous version of course). With "encrypted passwords = no" everything is working fine (except for some minor

Hello All, I am using Linux6.0(running samba) as a file server on my network, everything is good when I configure samba authenticate on other machine such as WinNT4.0. But when I have configured samba authenticate on itself (security = user) I received message error "smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(506) Account for user 'david' was disabled". In this mode I created

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

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?

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
