similar to: nobody & smbpasswd

still trying to solve my domain-problems (from time to time I get 'domain controller cant be found' on a special sambaserver 2.2.3a) Why does samba complain about wrong password for user nobody ? I actually found "nobody" in smbpasswd, but I'm not sure if I put it in there and dont understand why nobody needs to be samba-user. imho nobody is the unix-account under which

Hello everyone I have a problem, I work in a company with 50 P.C. organized in 5 workgroups with Windows 98, 2000, NT, XP Workstations.

There is anybody ho can help me ( example, configuration).

Samba 2.2.3a on OS-X 10.2.6 Trying to get a standalone server up and running with user level security. All the users have valid accounts and passwords, but we've enabled password sync and password chat and chat debug for the accounts as we don't do authentication against the active directory. unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat debug = yes passwd chat

Hi All, I would like to know if this is possible and if possible what is the complexity. Consider a CIFS client, SAMBA Server1 and Samba Server2. Say a session is established between a CIFS client and SAMBA server1. Is it possible for the SAMBA server1 to transfer/redirect/reestablish the connection to SAMBA server2 without the CIFS client knowing about this? The session between the CIFS

Hello. My unix password sync is working ok, thus when an user changes his password with "Ctrl+Alt+Del|Change Password" in Windows. However, if I run "smbpasswd" manually, I get two messages saying "password changed", but the unix password is not changed. :( Is this behaviour the right one? Thanks. - Oscar.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a really odd question i hope someone can help mee with. Then i look in the smbpasswd file most of the accounts have an "X" after the hashed password inside the brackets, something like this smbtest10:2228:01FC5A6BE7BC6929AAD3B435B51404EE:0CB6948805F797BF2A82807973B89537: [UX ]:LCT-00000000: The strange thing is if i remove

hi there i have recently moved all users to LDAP and incorporated the Samba schema i have allocated servers read only access to the data except for what is required ie lmpass ... ntpass .. what disturbs me is that smbpasswd demands write access to uid,rid,primarygroup,cn,displayname i would rather it did not do this i fully understand why samba requires write access to other attr's in fact in

So I get a phone call about my companie's controler not being able to log into samba. About two weeks ago we migrated from Win2k Server to Samba running on LDAP. What would be the default value that sambaPwdMustChange would be incremented? This is NT Time Right (1 unit for every 100 ms from 1600 right?) I just had to bump everybody what I'm guessing is three weeks, but I need to know

hallo list, samba 2.x + SuSE 7.3 working as PDC in NT/W2K-Network: in the smbpasswd the account flags are set to U, DU, W. But a few accounts have an added X like UX or DUX. The man page describes only flags D, U, W and N. what does the X mean or can it be deleted. Anybody else with this appearance, Marco Lechner

Hi guys, me again. Please, I would like to know if this is a bug/ incompatibility with windows 2003 server. I would like that someone that has accounts stored on windows 2003 server make a test and try to change a password of one of those users from a linux box using smbpasswd -r <w2k3_host> -U username. For me it always complains about invalid username or password. This work if I change a

I need to allow [read] access to a Samba server using both IP filtering & UserIDs . For a given list of IP subnets, any user should have access. Outside these 'trusted' subnets, I need to do User authentication. I can handle the User authentication OK in several ways. However, I don't see any way to do the 'short circuit' allow for some IPs, then use User authentication

Hello Family, I had encounted that as "user" I couldn't change my own passwd with "smbpasswd" and noticed the permission differences between smbpasswd and passwd. This is Samba-2.2.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 782415 Dec 28 03:14 /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -r-s--x--x 1 root root 12244 Feb 7 2000 /usr/bin/passwd Is there a reason why the

Under Samba 2.2.4 (and possibly earlier), smbpasswd (when run locally) only really reads the first 8 characters, as opposed to the full password. Obviously, this can cause mass confusion. :) The fix is pretty simple (I would offer a diff, but this is the kind of thing the configure script should check for...) - under Solaris getpass() will only return 8 characters - you must use getpassphrase()

help!....im really confused, ... i created the user "Stealth" on my Linux redhat 7.3 machine and when i configure my smb.conf file, for path = /home/Stealth, the machine would show up in "Computers Near Me" on my other windoez 2000 machine, but would not accept any passwords to the [share], when i run smbpasswd -a Stealth i get this......... getsmbfilepwent: malformed

hello list, I had to move a samba pdc server to a new hardware plattform. So I copied the whole files of the samba shares. And additionally the following config files: /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/smb.conf /etc/smbpasswd /etc/secrets.tdb The new server has the same name and ip address like the old one. But now, the w2k users can no more download their profiles. (w2k says something like access

Hi, I have set up Samba 3.0.0 with ADS integration. It works fine, with a workaround for a small oddity. I use template homedirs like this: template homedir = /home/%D/%U On a soon-to-be-retired server running 3.0a19, I have a directory LOCAL (as in LOCAL.DOMAIN.NAME) containing the homedirs - this works as expected from the output of "getent passwd", which shows the homedirs of

I have my smb.conf configured - I believe - properly to talk to my LDAP server: ldap admin dn = "cn=admin,dc=MYDOMAIN,dc=com" ldap server = ldap.MYDOMAIN.com ldap port = 389 ldap ssl = off But if I try to set a password using smbpasswd, it seems to think it wants to connect to localhost (and fails): # smbpasswd -D 99 -a dballing New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Trying to

Hi... I'm running samba and ldap (openldap). Using smbpasswd -a username adds the samba ldap info into the users ldap entry just fine. The problem is deletion. Running smbpasswd -x username deletes the ENTIRE user's ldap entry. This is good if I want to delete the unix and windows account information, but not if I want to just delete the windows info. I assume it is because

Hi, I want to ask you, if you release an RPM package for samba 2.2.2 for Redhat 6.2 too, and not only for version 7.1 Thanks a lot Tomas Zeman

Hi Toni, This error is the result of a test that samba does in the module "server_validate", (in password.c) to check the password server for a bug where NT 4 (some versions) would not correctly set the guest bit. There is currently no smb.conf parameter to allow you to control this behavior, so to change it , you would need to actually hack the password.c module to disable it. Not
