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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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. Neighborhood, but when I double-click to login, the login window give the following message: Incorrect password or unknown username for \\SERVERNAME Entering a username and password (from /etc/passwd) returns: \\SERVERNAME is not

Hello Samba Gurus I found a program that I think may be usefull if I can get it to work with Samba. I am using RedHat 6.2 and I found a program included with the PowerTools called safedelete-1.3. I read the man page for safedelete and it mentions creating a system alias "alias rm='/usr/bin/safedelete'" so when you use rm to delete a file it will get backed up to a

Good morning, I have a client that needs some shaping done. Im only familiar with the HTB qeueu and was hopeing someone could give me a few pointers if possible. I need to shape outgoing and incoming as far as possible though I don''t know if it will be possible to do so without policeing the incoming bandwidth. They have a link and their service provider allows them to burts as

Hey guys, Im interested in hearing about servers (and thier hardware specs) that successfully run both asterisk and samba for an office of maybe about 12 extensions (SIP) and about 12 workstations. Im hopeing to not only replace a traditional PBXs with Asterisk/Linux but to provide a solution to needs such as a file serving, email serving, etc. Ive read the Success stories form voip-info.org but

hi there i have recently moved all users to LDAP and incorporated the Samba schema i have allocated servers read only access to the data except for what is required ie lmpass ... ntpass .. what disturbs me is that smbpasswd demands write access to uid,rid,primarygroup,cn,displayname i would rather it did not do this i fully understand why samba requires write access to other attr's in fact in

Good Morning, I am trying to setup a basic samba config by first starting up swat. I have followed the guide http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch02.html but have problems. I am running kubuntu, samba 3.0.14a, my smb.conf file is ... [global] workgroup = METRAN encrypt passwords = yes [test] comment = For testing only, please path = /etc/samba/tmp read only = no

Greetings all! I've got some really silly questions. I'm a technical guy, and I understand how the astrisk server works and how VOIP works, etc... The problem I have is that at my small company we have a phone system with analog lines and everyone here is comfortable with the concept of using them. I've never seen IP phones in action so I don't know how they work from a users

hello, and some update short version: the error is still there, but I have some more data to share, thanks in advance for further advice first, I am using Mutt 1.10.1 (2018-07-13) as mail client, so it is not an obsolete version. second... at the moment I can send email through postfix on the same server, with the same certificates (almost: I still have to fix some stuff, but is NOT related to

Greetings, I have had to reinstall my email server on another Linux (centos 7.6) VPS, with a newer version of dovecot, other software and a brand new letsencrypt certificate just for email withpostfix and dovecot (that certificate works fine with postfix). Output of dovecot --version and dovecot -n on the new server is below. Now, messages ARE delivered in the right IMAP mailboxes, but when I try

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
