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 would like t compile NIS+ support into SAMBA, but I am getthing an error. I am doing this: ./configure --with-nisplus and when I run make, I get these errors: Linking bin/smbd passdb/nispass.o: In function `make_sam_from_nisresult': passdb/nispass.o(.text+0x84f): undefined reference to `nis_sperrno' passdb/nispass.o: In function `nisp_get_nis_list':

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'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

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 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

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

We just installed samba 2.0.3 and configured with swat. It seems great, but after try to use smbpasswd we get the following error: inis-11# smbpasswd -a frank New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: 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:

A small contribution :) I downloaded and installed 2.0.4b and compiled with NIS+ support since the fixed configuration for it was one of the new features. All worked fine, except that I found I couldn't change passwords. It turned out to be not a configuration error, but that some of the NIS+ routines hadn't been implemented yet. So I did that :) So far my mods seem to be working, but I

I'm using Samba 220, Solaris 2.8/Sparc, Sun Forte C Compiler. I ran ./configure using --with-pam so I could use winbind. During compilation, I get the following warning messages: ............

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 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 just installed Samba for the first time. Installed and setup like a dream. Unfortunately, I can't login to save my life. The server appears in the Net.

Hi, there, I put roaming profiles for NT4 users on samba server. In "Domain User Manager", I set "User profile Path" \\abel\profile\%U.pds, here abel is samba server. It works well, but everyday several users complain. Sometime, they cannot login because of roaming profiles. Sometimes, some users cannot run VC or VB. Sometime, I only need to remove ntuser.dat on samba

copy d:\bugs.ps \\ouessant\lexmark after having deleted all the samba log files and restarted the SMBd daemon from the SWAT Web interface. This leads to the INTERNAL ERROR, see samba.oulx Now, to locate the problem, I tried the same kind of command on the same file, bugs.ps, but using the SMBCLIENT application from the Linux server itself, without changing anything, nor restarting the SMBd
