My question is, how come daevid (on XP) sees the following directories: \\linux\dae51d \\linux\homes Shouldn't there just be the home dir only? Why does "\\linux\dae51d" show up (I assume it's b/c that's who I am logged in as on XP which maps to linux)? However, the fact that it does show up, shouldn't it be the actual HOME directory of the linux user account dae51d (as

Hello, I reported problem PR#20895. So - i use encrypted passwords. All new unix users are appended to smbpasswd with one script. Every new user is getting a line like this: s1077347:2006:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[NU ]:LCT-00000000:user name The parameter null passwords is NO. Every user who has not set their password can login into Samba NT

I just want a simple, globally accessible directory for anyone on my LAN. I don't care who they are, who they're logged in as on their windows machine, I don't care about security (it's my own private LAN!!!). Why is this so difficult to do? I've looked through the archives (which by the way, could someone spend a few minutes and put a SEARCH feature there. Following threads

Hi, I keep coming across this problem. Samba is samba 2.2.5 Go to join a winxp box to the domain and it all appears to work fine. When you restart you can not login because it wasn't done properly. Here are my obversations from samba. A) In the logs there is always this [2002/10/24 07:12:43.415583, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545) Couldn't find user 'nobody' in

Ok. To let you know, my source was Samba Unleashed (copyright 2000). Page 343 and 344 is what told me that I needed to add itself to the entries and to its own domain it is running. I'll remove the entries and see how things work. Thanks for the help. Apparently it is because the book I am using is wrong. Adam Lang Systems Engineer Rutgers Casualty Insurance Company

We've recently started using samba-3.0.23d on Mandriva 2007.0 linux systems and we've noticed a change in behaviour of smbpasswd when a non-root user tries to change their password from "NO PASSWORD". Here's an example smbpasswd entry (all one line): testuser:12345:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[NU ]:LCT-00000000: The

Hi, I'am running a small samba server at work with 10+ users in the domain (all of them added with W2KSP1 and 2.2.3 or 2.2.4). I uppgraded to 2.2.5 a while back and has not experienced any problem with it, but when I try to add a newly installed W2KSP1 client to the domain I get the following entries in the log file: Sep 10 13:29:55 linus smbd[17681]: [2002/09/10 13:29:55, 0]

Help! (pretty please :) I'm still having the problem described below with samba-3.0.24. Here's an excerpt from the smbpasswd man page: When run by an ordinary user with no options, smbpasswd will prompt them for their old SMB password and then ask them for their new pass word twice, to ensure that the new password was typed correctly. No passwords will be

pls could you include my name in the samba Digest mailing list, thanks Mark.

G'day all... Has anyone had any success in achieving the above, without requiring the user to run smbpasswd on the samba server? On the client machine (2000 or XP) when I press ctrl-alt-del and attempt to change the password I get the error "The User name or old password is incorrect..." I need to keep things as simple as possible for my users, they're not highly computer

period of time (hours up to weeks sometimes), and then 'certain' pc's would no longer be able to connect to samba, but other pc's would still be working. And the pc's affected are not the same each time. this might be the case if what is REALLY going on is that the pc's that are STILL working never lost their connection to SAMBA/iX, so they already(still) have a working

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate an NT4 domain to Samba3, and getting quite frustrated with stuff that seems not to work as advertised. I'd appreciate any help. I've set up an OpenLDAP server, and Samba 3, configured it as a BDC, and tried running "net rpc vampire". This all works, and Samba does the appropriate stuff to try and populate the LDAP database. The scripts I've

I'm trying to set up a samba box at home to centralize my family's storage into one place. Every time I try to connect to the box I get an incorrect user name or password dialog and it doesn't matter what I put in but it won't let me connect. In the log files every time I connect I see something like (repeated several times)... [2003/07/05 13:20:11, 0]

Stephanie, Thank you for your help. I tryed what you suggest but no luck.. I get this: root@lnxsrvr2:~# /usr/local/samba/bin/net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup="Domain Admins" rid=512 Can't lookup UNIX group Domain Admins Is there something with initial compiling samba 3.0.0 that would disable this? All the documentation that I've seen makes it look so

I wonder whether the following setup is possible with Samba since I have problems to get it running: I want password checking for Samba shares on a Linux Samba server to be done via the NT password server. This is mainly thought for the users home directories. Since the users already have given their password to the local workstation I have thought that they do not need to give it again when

the files when you attempt to rename it. This is caused by Window's Media Player loading the file when you click on it. To work around this I had to go into Windows Explorer and change the folder options from "Enable Web Contents in Folders" to "Use Windows Classic Folders". This way, Windows Media player won't load the file when you click on it. Just trying to save

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
