similar to: changing smbpasswd from NT4 client (its not happening)

I installed samba-1.9.18p8 on our RS6000 running AIX: 4.2.1.0 with xlC: 3.1.4.0. There are 5 errors reported in "util.c" and 2 errors reported in "server.c", all about "Function argument assignment between types "unsigned long*" and "int*" is not allowed." I use encrypted passwords and have a smbpasswd password file in the ususal place. I can

I may be mixing water and oil here, but with a recent upgrade I am discovering our solaris clients aren't able to update samba passwords. Our server is running 2.2.12 (I intend to upgrade to 3.0.x when I get LDAP working) with it's own password database. If I use the smbpasswd that came with 2.2.12 on the solaris clients everything works. however if I use the smbpasswd that

Hello! I need to use smbpasswd in scripts. I want to changing smbpassword in script. There is an option -s in smbpasswd so I tried: echo new_password | smbpasswd -s username but without success....

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 would like to have sync'd Unix and Samba passwords. My Unix passwords are stored in OpenLDAP for uniformity across machines and services. I have some problems with the standard solutions to this problem though: * if I have Samba authenticate from OpenLDAP directly (using the smbPassword attribute), then I get sync'ing problems when the password is changed via normal Unix means. We

I have set up everything so that NT4 SP3 users can use my FreeBSD machine as a printer/file share fine. But it seems to me that every user I want grant access to my machine and is it even for browsing only needs to have an account and must run smbpasswd once on my unix machine. How can I let arbitrary users/workgroups let browse my printers? -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies

I have a client Samba 3.0 in Redhat 9.0 to authenticate users using winbind. The users are created in a Windows 2000 machine (this machine is the PDC). How do I in order that the users mount his directory of the PDC as /home/user1 in local machine on automatic way when them logon? My smb.conf is: ------------------------------------------------ [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN server string

Hi all. I'm having a strange intermittent problem with Samba 2.2.8a losing connectivity with our PDC and BDC. We are currently having a problem with our PDC restarting due to a bug check about 2-3 times a month. When this happens and the PDC is restarted or anytime it is restarted, we are not able to map shares on any of our 5 servers using samba 2.2.8a - the fix is to kill smbd and nmbd

This is really bizarre. Running Samba 3.0.4 on SuSE 9.1. The password backend is smbpasswd. Each user has a system and samba account and everything has worked as expected until recently. But now, every new user I create is unable to log into Samba server (older users are still able to log in). Inspecting log.smbd the following messages are displayed: [2004/07/22 11:44:56, 2]

I have been trying to use security=domain and hence have to use smbpassword to create a domain account. Since my default setup has an smb.conf file in a non-standard place, my primary smb.conf file consists of [global] config file=/path/to/smb.conf.%h This works fine for smbd and nmbd but trying to run smbpassword returns the following error ./bin/smbpasswd -j DOMAIN No password server list

I'm using samba 2.2.3a with OpenLDAP server. My smbd(8) is working fine, that is, it can find user when user is opening some share on w2k boxes: (ldap log - local4) Feb 21 17:21:17 click.crol.net slapd[20169]: conn=30 op=1 BIND dn="SMBSERVER=CLICK,OU=SAMBA,OU=SERVERS,DC=CROL,DC=NET" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And this entity has ability to

Hi, Samba guru; I need your help. I am using samba 2.0.6. security = server and password server = NT PDC; nt acl support = yes. I am trying to change permission using the NT security dialogs but failed. In the log file I found that apparently when I connect to the samba directory, I get authenticate correctly. But when try to change permission, samba does not try to authenticate through password

Hello, I have comfigured samba-3.0.23c-2 server on CentOS-5, but when i was logging in from the client system, even if I donot provide password and hit enter key, the client is logging in as Anonymous user.

Is there a way to synchronize changing a user's WindowsXP password with the smbpasswd? I configured a basic Samba server (3.0.10) with password encryption enabled. When I created the smbpasswd file, I used the same username:passwords as the WindowsXP user accounts. After the initial connection, users can login and map the network shares seamlessly. Users are required to change they

Hello, having a problem upgrading a samba installation version 3.0.28 on a FreeBSD 7.x server. I use samba as a PDC with roaming profiles and user shares.
