To sunmanagers and samba@lists readers: Thank you all so much for your help with the samba issue. Although the problem was not solved, your suggestions made it possible for us to narrow down the problem. We believe the problem are two office PCs that were recently configured with some new test software. All other PCs and user accounts work fine. I do need to upgrade samba to a newer version

I sent the following to sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org and I'm also forwarding this to the samba list.

Hello! adduser(8) perl script uses crypt(3) to generate encrypted passwords, as pointed in /usr/sbin/adduser itself. Currently in /etc/login.conf password format is MD5 as default but adduser always generates encrypted passwords in DES format. IMHO adduser script should read value of passwd_format in /etc/login.conf to decide what kind of salt (DES, MD5 or somewhat else) he gives to crypt. At

Hi, To add a user to the system on the commandline, I usually use the adduser command. # adduser newuser And that's it. I've been using that command probably out of an old habit, since I've been a long-time Slackware user before. But now I wanted to dig a bit deeper, and some details puzzle me. Whereas on Slackware, 'adduser' is an interactive shell script to create a

Hi List, I have some issues with user manager for domains (srvtools.exe from MS) and the scripts mentioned in the subject. The examples from the samba howto collection seem to cause serious issues here. I am on debian etch and tried to create my own scripts but till now to now avail. With the examples from the docs I could add groups, but could not add users to groups. There was the option -A

I installed CentOS 3.3 some time ago and the first thing I did after the install was to run a little script that adds my user plus a few other things. The script adds my user like this USER="ulrik" PASSWD="<mypasswd>" /usr/sbin/adduser $USER -p $PASSWD It seemed to work fine except I couldn't login? I searched Google for reasons why I could only login via ssh as

Hello, I'm just wondering if someone stumble upon this. We are trying to create a local account but it looks like the adduser script is contacting the AD server for some reason and saying that the user "already exists" when it doesn't locally. Is there a way to disable adduser to contact AD or something similar? Thank you. [root at server01~]# adduser user01 adduser: user

at http://wiki.openpbx.org/tiki-index.php?page=Easy+route+to+building+OpenPBX.org there is the following adduser command: adduser --no-create-home --ingroup openpbx --disabled-password --disabled-login openpbx This does NOT seem to be the right format for Centos. So far, using man, I have come up with; adduser -M -g openpbx What else do I need?

Hi there, I''m running into an problem which I can resolve. It is bugging me for couple of days now.

Hi folks, are there any more detailed docs about those scripts? I have some annoying issues there and I can't find anything about that in the docs. If using usrmgr.exe is it possible to tweak the "add user script" that the full name of a user is stored too, like if I add the user manually with adduser (debian) or useradd -c "Full Name" -m username on (most?) other

If I would like to have multiple domains hosted off a single server, do I need to create multiple smb.conf and start the daemon individually for each one?

Hello.. I've asked this question before without getting any further help really.. When a new user is added using "adduser" on 5.x (havn't really checked if it's the same under 4.x or not), the default homedir permission is 755 (drwxr-xr-x) which to me, looks a bit insecure? It's of course pretty easy to solve it by a simple chmod, but yet, isn't there anyway to
