similar to: Creating the smbpasswd file

Good Afternoon, I had sent in an earlier message about trying to login and getting dropped from a W2000 workstation. I received a reply back to upgrade Samba from 3.013 to 3.020x. I did this. Operating System: SuSE 9.3 Samba Version: 3.0.20a (SuSE's RPMs) I am using /etc/samba/smbpasswd file and not LDAP to store the users and passwords. [global] passwd chat debug = Yes passwd

Hi, I'd like to announce a beta patch to the KDE user manager (kuser) that integrates the management of the smbpasswd encrypted password file with the existing password file. The eventual target audience is administrators installing Samba based PDC's, or other applications where an encrypted smbpasswd file needs to be managed using graphical tools not too dissimilar

I have a small Samba installation, two servers and about 10 workstations. The hard drive on one of the Windows XP workstations failed. I cloned a drive a from an identical machine and replaced the defective drive. When it came up it had the name of the original machine (which was off). It worked fine. This group is small and fairly stable so I add machines to the domain manually. The server

I've attempted to change my smb password on a remote NT PDS, but it always fails with resolve_name: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name SERVER<0x20> getlmhostsent: lmhost entry: 127.0.0.1 localhost resolve_name: Attempting host lookup for name SERVER<0x20> Connecting to nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn at port 139 error connecting to nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:139 (Connection refused) unable to connect to

As some of you may know, I'm trying to set up Samba BDC on a disk- and fan-less tiny mipsel_CPU router running OpenWRT distribution. I already managed to compile Samba 3.0.21a and OpenLDAP 2.3.18 for it, and they seem to work fine. The problem is, this tiny distribution for routers doesn't seem to have anything like Name Service Switch (NSS), and relies solely on /etc/passwd and

Hi all, I recently created a RAID-Z1 pool out of a set of 7 SCSI disks, using the following command: # zpool create magicant raidz c5t0d0 c5t1d0 c5t2d0 c5t3d0 c5t4d0 c5t5d0 c5t6d0 It worked fine, but I was slightly confused by the size yield (99 GB vs the 116 GB I had on my other RAID-Z1 pool of same-sized disks). I thought one of the disks might have been to blame, so I tried swapping it out

Hello, When I try smbpasswd -j DOMAIN_NAME -r alfa -U Administrator I get Error connecting to alfa - NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED Unable to join domain TID. The same command works with Windows 2000 domain. Windows domain is configured for pre 2k/2k3 access, samba-2.2.8a. I tried to search google unsuccessfully. Can I debug it? Regards, Nerijus

Hey, I had a problem with rebooting XP and joining the samba domain, which was controlled by my gentoo linux box. I worked for days for a solution, and found it....!!!! The problem was that I could join the domain fine, but had to reboot, and then found i was rejected from joining then. It appeared like the domain was invisible to the XP box. I pulled my hair out, scoured the web

Hi folks :-) I compiled samba (latest stable v3.4.3) on my debian stable, everything seems ok but when I try to add new samba user ./smbpasswd: ./smbpasswd: symbol lookup error: ./smbpasswd: undefined symbol: _talloc_get_type_abort I already checked useful libreries but I don't understand this problem. what can I do? (samba pre-compiled packages on debian are some grave bugs) thanks

Hello - Is there a script available to convert an old 2.2.18 smbpasswd file to the newer Smb 3.0 smbpasswd file? The reason I ask is that ive figured out why my users are getting bad errors when changing passwords locally. I have over 1000 users and dont wish to manually add them into a fresher smbpasswd file. Thanks TJ

Hello all, I'm sure I can't be the only person with this question.. but I just didn't see it answered.. how do you script smbpasswd? I've tried echo password | smbpasswd -sa name smbpasswd -sa name password echo password | smbpasswd -D5sa name (this gets me the ability to add a password by hand..) # echo password | smbpasswd -D5sa name Netbios name list:-

I have difficulties. I'm running samba-2.1-19991203.tar.gz, and get the following error: Domain password server not available. Can't setup password database vectors. Sander -- thanks. This is an excellent troubleshooting move. Once we can find people who do and don't have problems, we can exploit the differences. Thanks Steve Litt At 01:53 AM 12/08/1999 +0100, S. Striker wrote:

Hello, I am trying to use the smbpasswd file from Samba as the password backend for FreeRADIUS. I already managed to get FreeRADIUS to work, but Samba keeps resetting the smbpasswd permissions to: iserv samba # ll /etc/samba/smbpasswd -rw------- 1 root root 4.9K 2008-04-11 10:26 /etc/samba/smbpasswd The permissions have to look like this so FreeRADIUS can access it: # chgrp freerad

Hello. When I run smbpasswd from samba 3.0.23a on a MIPSEL system running Linux 2.4.20 as root, I'm NEVER asked for a password. Even when I create a new user in smbpasswd, I'm not asked: root@HD.bei.digitalprojects.com:/etc/samba# strings smbpasswd root:0:AAD3B435B51404EEAAD3B435B51404EE:31D6CFE0D16AE931B73C59D7E0C089C0:[U ]:LCT-44D63D42:

Hello All, I am new to samba and need some help from the samba experts. I have installed, configured and running samba 2.03 on IRIX 6.5 It is working pretty well with encrypted password on. I have converted the /etc/passwd file to smbpasswd with mksmbpasswd script which generated 32X's format as stated in the documentation. Now the problems is, this smbpasswd file generated is not the

It took me a little while to figure out what was going on here ... We're trying to migrate a site from non-encrypted to encrypted passwords using the "update encrypted" option. Apparently, this causes problems when "username level" is set greater than zero (it's set to 15 in our implementation) We've been having a lot of problems when we turn on encrypted

First thanks for your quick reply, I may have explained myself improperly. By default - from my understanding- on any windows domain you're allowed to anonymously connect to : - rootDSE of the LDAP with an Anonymous bind ; -Connect to the IPC$ with a NULL session if allowed in the registry. But indeed you're not allowed to perform any method on the IPC$ neither to list the

I'm currently running the samba3x packages on Centos 5.6. I recently switched to them from the SERnet Samba 3.3 packages to Centos Samba3x packages (smbd now reports Version 3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1). At the same time, I switched to ldapsam as a backend. Everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to change a user's password with smbpasswd (as root). smbpasswd did not report any

I am trying to setup a /etc/smbpasswd file for my users. I use the following command to create the /etc/smbpasswd file cat /etc/passwd | ./mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/smbpasswd Redhat 7.1, samba 2.2.5 I thought that users could log onto the linux system and simply type the command: smbpasswd and it would ask for the new password. But it asks for an OLD password which never works. I thought
