Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords. I will eventually have 5 samba servers so this is quite important to me as I don't want to have to change passwords and setup passwords on 5 servers when changing or adding new users. Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for

Hello all, An interesting problem, I am developing on Windows, another developer is using Unix, and our app and svn repository are running on a Linux box. We need an easy way to not keep breaking our app and each others development environs when we check in the code. The piece in question is the dispatch.fcgi. The path to ruby is (obviously) different in Windows and Unix. Has anyone run into

Hello, I'm running samba 2.2 on FreeBSD 4.4. I was wondering if there was a way to sync up the samba and FreeBSD user passwords so that when either via the unix passwd or samba's smbpasswd program a user changes a password it is changed through both systems? If anyone is dong this successfully please let me know. Thanks. Dave.

Hello all, Thank you in advance for your help with this. I am trying to implement the user authentication method from Ruby Recipes which calls for the use of SHA 2. Here is the code for the password: def password=(pass) salt = [Array.new(6){rand(256).chr}.join].pack("m").chomp self.password_salt, self.password_hash = salt, Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(pass + salt) end I open

Hi all, I'm extremely puzzled by the behaviour of one of my Samba servers. It's been working fine for yonks, and this morning (abuout 11:32) it just stopped. (mostly) Connecting to shares still works. Navigating the tree till works. Changing (DOS) attributes still works. But actually opening files and reading the contents doesn't work. The client just times out (Win 3.11, and

Hello all, I am developing an online store and would like to keep track of how many times each product was viewed. While I can keep track of page hits using something like webalizer, this won''t really work (I don''t think) as the pages are not going to be static. Has anyone else implemented this and if so could you please point me in the right direction. A potential solution

Hello all, Again, thank you all in advance for any help here. I am trying to figure out how to show the role associated with a user, in a template. I am using the LoginGeneratorACLSystem along with the LoginGenerator. I can show the first name of the user by writing "<%= session[:user].first_name %>" but when I write "<%= session[:user].roles.name %>" it spits

Hi all, I'm using 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE and trying to get 'smbpasswd' to change the encrypted password and the UNIX password (/etc/passwd). I'm getting strange behaviour. Having worked through debugging my 'chat script', I now have the following situation:- When unix password sync = yes smbpasswd works, but only the UNIX password is changed When unix password

Hello All, I am new to Linux and Samba, and have RH7.3 with Samba 2.2.5 installed on my Win2K domain (mixed mode). I am testing RH7.3 as a file server so that I can integrate it into one (for now only one) of our client's Win2K domains. Running wbinfo I can retrieve a list of domain user and group accounts, and in webmin when assigning permissions to Samba shares I can choose these

Hi all, (again) The page:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html does not have any description of the '-j' option. However:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smbpasswd.8.html does. Why is this a big issue ? (worthof a post to the mailing list?) because the first URL above is linked off the main 'Documentation' page of the Samba web site

Hello all, This is an interesting problem I have been working on. What I have is a little multiuser project request tracking application. What happens is that I log in and create projects and assign people to the projects. Each project has steps associated with it, and the steps need to be done in a certain order. Now, I have to request that the assigned person perform each of the steps, and

While looking further into our load problems with Samba, and specifically with logins, I bumped up our debug level to 10. This has me really worried: in log.smb, I now see that *every other* chdir logged is to *my* home directory. Why? It's not in the source, that I can see. It's not in smb.conf or in our logon script. It looks like each and every user that logs on "passes

Hi folks, we're running Samba 2.0 on a SuSE 5.3 based System and I have two questions about an authentication issue: 1: I cannot connect to SWAT as user root because of authentication failure ("invalid password").

I'm running Samba 2.2.3 with winbind for authentication. Much to my surprise, I found I had a need to connect an MS-DOS system to the network. I'm using MSCLIENT to do so. I can successfully log into the domain and map drives on Windows NT servers, but I'm having trouble mapping Samba shares. Examining the log shows that the DOS machine is apparently trying to connect with a username

Dear Sirs, is there a tool which performs check between /etc/passwd and PREFIX/private/smbpasswd ? (I mean different UID when username is the same, missing entries, duplicate entries, etc....) Regards, Ilia Chipitsine
