similar to: /etc/samba/smbpasswd keeps changing - pulling my hair out

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:

Hi! Why don't you check up the neat utility changepassword from http://sourceforge.net. It works just wonderfully for me and also is an Open Source package which can be modified for your needs. Users at my place didn't even know they were taking their files from a Linux system until I changed to name to Linuxserver... ;-) If any help is required on this or installation you can

Samba can not link to ldap Samba can not retrieve password information for users. I have got stuck with the problem outlined below. I have already spent 2 weeks trying to find information on the www and various mailing lists, without success. I would be happy if someone has an idea what I have to fix. I do not particularly need ldap, so if anybody can tell me how to seperate Samba from ldap it

Hi Folks, I downloaded Samba2.0alpha8 from Samba site. Compiled it and installed it on the Solaris 2.6 unix box. I set up domain logon for both Windows 98 clients and WinNT. There is no problem logging on from Windows98 and the shares are all working alright. Then, I followed Samba NTDOM FAQ and add the NT workstation name into /etc/passwd and smbpasswd (using smbpasswd -a -m

Hello I am running a net work with a NT4PDC a NT4 BDC and attent to add samba BDC.

I am using smbpasswd backend without domain model on samba. Is there any working www based interface that users can use to change their smbpasswd ? -- Eero

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

When I used smbpasswd it gives me the following error... root at hayek:~# smbpasswd john New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to find entry for user john. This is despite the existence of the user root at hayek:~# cat /etc/samba/smbpasswd # # SMB password file. # nobody:65534:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[U ]:LCT-00000000:nobody

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

While looking at optimizations where Souper exploits known bits, I realized that it would be easy to teach Souper to compute known bits. Comparing its results against computeKnownBits() from r246393, it looks like there are some easy (and some not-easy) opportunities for improvement, please see a few examples below. The expressions come from compiling LLVM itself. Happily, this exercise

Hello, Please, i need help with security mode = share. i want to configure security = share and the parameter "username = user" in a shared folder to avoid that everybody could access to it. f I have understood correctly the manual, this configuration enables to access if the password provided matches with the user`password. But when i try to access returns this error: smbclient

I wonder whether the following setup is possible with Samba since I have problems to get it running: I want password checking for Samba shares on a Linux Samba server to be done via the NT password server. This is mainly thought for the users home directories. Since the users already have given their password to the local workstation I have thought that they do not need to give it again when

I had the same problem after upgrading to 3.0.23a. I have one samba PDC running a basic setup back to the smbpasswd file, and one that runs OpenLDAP. The former did exactly as yours, and I ended up rolling back to version 3.0.23. On the latter, the smb process refused to run, reporting that it could not contact the database. I ended up having to remove all the database files and reinstall

Hallo, I can't join a win2K machine on my domain. I create the machine account dynamically in my smb.conf by the following line: add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 200 -s /bin/false -M %u Now a machine account is created and added to my users (this part works ok) Samba also generates a machine account for samba (I could not find a line for that in my smb.conf) But the

Hi everybody! I don't know if this is a samba or ldap problem, so here is the problem and you decide. I've installed Samba+LDAP to replace the windows solution. The workstation in the network are w2k so the need to logon to the samba+ldap for all the setting to be fetched. The logon is working the only trouble is that I can't get the option for changing the password, when I press the

I've searched google and the samba archives to no avail (appologies if I've missed something), so I will ask the community directly: I am trying to convert a fully populated smbpasswd file to the tdbsam backend: # pdbedit -i smbpasswd:./smbpasswd -e tdbsam:./passdb.tdb This seems to work, on the surface, but upon inspection I find that # pdbedit -Lw username

Hi, I have a server running Samba as a PDC and I'm using on-the-fly machine account creation. This works absolutely fine with Windows clients, but I cannot get a Samba client to successfully join the domain. I'm trying to join using the command 'net rpc join -Uroot', which after I've entered the password returns: Error domain join verification (reused connection):

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

Thanks for the help, however I don't think your suggestion applies in my case. On a fresh install of Samba 4.7.4 AD you cannot change a user password on a logged in PC through cntl-alt-del -> ChangePassword because the default MinAge is 1 days. I had to use the "samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --min-pwd-age=0" command to make the logged-on style of password change
