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

I have been tasked to be one of the main targets, er, I mean, guys to facilitate our changeover from a rather aged Novell server to Samba. My boss set up Samba 2.0.7 (RPM shows "samba-common-2.0.7-4" with an RPM -q). I am trying to convert it to PDC functionality, and am having difficulty. In the log I see this: "smbd/password.c:authorise_login(826) rejected invalid user

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]

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

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

I just created a new smbpasswd file, all users with unset passwords. Problem is, users can't set their passwords, only I can as root. Password is not set / blank, but they still get: >test> smbpasswd >Old SMB password: <enter> >New SMB password: Samba >Retype new SMB password: Samba >machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The >specified

This is probably pretty simple. The following error appears in my logs since upgrading from version 2.2.8 to 3.0.1: [2003/12/25 14:44:09, 0] rpc_server/srv_util.c:get_domain_user_groups(372) get_domain_user_groups: primary gid of user [testuser] is not a Domain group! get_domain_user_groups: You should fix it, NT doesn't like that I'm guessing that my user's primary group

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

Hy, I just install OpenLDAP 2.0 and Samba 3.0. (both from RPM). I used tools from idealx (found in src from Samba 3.0) to populate the ldap tree. My ldap is empty when i start, i just added index and samba.schema in slapd.conf. I used net rpc getsid to generate my domain SID and put in the smbldap_conf.pm with others options (dc, ou, dn etc.) I didn't get any error with this tool, it create

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

Hi, guys, I'm trying to create a PDC using Samba with an LDAP backend. According to all the guides I read, this should be fairly easy really, but I've done nothing else for the last week and it still doesn't work the way the manual says it should! As far as I can see, everything is set up and working correctly right up to the point when I try and join a machine to the domain.
