Hi all, Is there a way to use the "encrypt passwords" and the "passwd chat" programs simultaneously? smb.conf(5) doesn't mention anything about them being mutually exclusive, yet when I run testparm on the smb.conf file, I get: ERROR: the 'passwd chat' script [...] expects to use the old plaintext password via the %o substitution. With encrypted passwords

Here's my setup: Caldera Open Linux Lite (kernel 2.0.29) Samba 2.0.4a Windows Domain (Two Windows NT 4.0 Servers -- one PDC, one BDC -- and numerous Windows NT 4.0 Workstations) I can see my Linux box in Network Neighborhood on my Windows NT boxes. I can open the Linux box and see the top level shares available. When I try to open a share I see one or two anonymous folders. Anyone

Hello, Although I've been using samba for years at my customers office, I recently moved one on a HP E60 server running RedHat 6.2. The samba version is 2.0.6, untouched from the distribution. They use a (weird) accounting software built on the top of FoxPro, requiring a *huge* amount of open files. I accordingly raised the values for files-nr and inode-nr and the stats seem ok. They have

Hi everyone, We use samba 2.0.4 and are very glad of it. However, recently I had to add a backup facility on our network, so we plan to purchase Arcserve IT for NT, in order to backup our servers. We are using mainly 3 Linux servers and 1 NT server, which runs the backup service. However, as Itried to add a simple share on the file server to enable backup, later I encounter problems with

Hi again, I was previously writing for a problem with Arcserve IT and Samba (with linux). The connection drops after 15 minutes. Continuing to understand what's happening, I discovered the following message in the logs: [1999/06/01 14:42:08, 0] smbd/files.c:file_new(85) ERROR! Out of file structures Immediatly I ran into the samba code to try to understand the cause of the problem.

Hi! When I enter smbpaswd as a normal user iget the following error: Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 139 machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The specified password is invalid.

Hi! Even with 2.0.4, I'm still seeing a lot of oplock break failures (clients failing, see log further down). The client hangs for approx 30 secs (sometimes more) and then gets back online. At least one user can't use the file shares at all; it hangs whatever he does, and on any computer he uses (NT or 98, laptop, desktop...) Other users have less problems, but maybe they are less

I'm using samba 2.1 pre-alpha. When I right click an .exe file on the most shares, explorer freezes, and must be killed to recover. The problem doesn't show up on the home shares, but appears on any other shares I create. I've experienced this problem on many different workstations. Looking at the logs, it seems to be a problem with oplocks; the part of the log that seems to apply is

Hello, I am having a very speific problem with my samba interface. We just migrated to a new IBM pSeries server with AIX 5.3. The older server was a RS6000, with AIX 5.2 and everything I'm about to describe below worked without fail. We have a Windows 2000 Server that runs IIS. There is a web-based program (programmed in VB Script) that calls test.sh AIX script (through samba) on our AIX

Hi ! I have a problem after changing NT sp3 to sp4 and Samba from 1.x to 2.0.

> > Samba Fans: I currently have a number of samba servers running Samba-1.9.18 on Solaris 2.6. But each and every share requires the user to log in with not just the password but the correct username as well. Here is the interesting part. I left the security parameter as default, security=share. # Global parameters security = share workgroup = BEACORP [backup1]

Hi there, I am experiencing some odd behaviour with my samba server (version 2.0.7 running on mandrake 8.0). The server comes up ok and appears on the browse list, but you cannot list the shares on it. The following error shows up when I use smbclient -L: tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.) I think I have figured out what is going wrong from the

Hi, I've just installed Samba 2.0.3 and now I'm getting following error: PAM_pwdb[306]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> andreas for samba service I can connect to all shares and printers, but get the error. I suppose it has something to do with the passwords (I'm trying to sync Samba and Linux passwords). Any ideas? /Andreas

Greetings, I am running 2.2.7a as a domain controller on RH 8.0 When I attempt to create a folder I get the following "warning" "You may not be able to access the files created in the folder ....

Hi everybody, I'm having issues with samba.

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
