Hello all, I've got a little problem to change the user-password from NT4 on a samba-server (RedHat 8.0) - but I can get without any problem shares on that server with that user and password. Why does samba say, I would supply a wrong password to my userid? What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your tips, kind regards, Andreas Hartmann smb.conf # Global parameters [global]

Hi ! When trying to change users password from NT or XP workstations (using CTRl-ALT-DEL), I get an error under Windows and this in my samba logs: Sep 10 16:15:08 testbox kernel: pid 2709 (smbd), uid 10000: exited on signal 6 Sep 10 16:15:08 testbox smbd[2709]: [2003/09/10 16:15:08, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(114) Sep 10 16:15:08 testbox smbd[2709]: Failed to set gid privileges to

Howdy I've searched mailing lists and have not found anyone with the same problem (as far as I can tell). I've setup a samba pdc (samba-2.2.7-2 rpm for RedHat 8.0) following the instructions on the samba PDC HOWTO: http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html I've successfully setup the samba PDC and have joined a test client running win2k to a domain called

I compiled a new binary on OS X and now it I'm having a few problems. Everything is working just fine including SWAT, but now I have permission errors: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/freeradical/smberror.jpg I didn't change a thing in my smb.conf, just updated the SMB binaries, so what might be wrong this time? BTW, I symlinked all the new binaries to their default locations and

Good day folks, I'm using Samba 2.2.8a [1] on Slackware 9.1 with 2000/XP clients. I'm attempting to have a process by which a user drags a file using Windows Explorer into a share. On the server side, I have a unix process that polls the directory for new files and then reads them and deletes them. I'm having a problem where I can gain the lock but the process is still writing to

I'm trying to compile in DFS with the --with-dfs option. There is an #ifdef WITH_DFS and following that, is some header files that are referenced that I can't seem to find any where.

All, I am running samba v. 1.2 on a FreeBSD machine with XP clients. I cannot make user password changes from the XP machines using ctrl-alt-del > Change Password. I followed some suggestions in the archives and on the net and tried "guest account = smbnull." The result of this change was the exact same error in the smbd log, only instead of 65534 (nobody), the log read 101

I'm trying to compile Samba 3.0.4 with Active Directory support on OpenBSD 3.5, using the native Kerberos libraries (which happens to be Heimdal 0.6). Unfortunately, ./configure isn't working right. I think i'm missing a switch or something. If anyone can help me figure out what the problem is, i would really appreciate it. First a bit of info on OpenBSD's Kerberos path

A couple of days ago I posted a problem I was having with the smbapasswd command for users (not root). Here is the original post: I have Samba installed on a HP-UX 11.00 system using NIS for UID/password resolution. The smbpasswd file hasbeen initilized and as root I can add a user's password and the user can "attach" the "share". But when the user tries to do the
