Hi, I've been Googling around trying to found why I can't make SAMBA (concretely smbpasswd and pdbedit) make good use of the information held in the file /etc/samba/smbusers. I have done a clean install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.1 Update 3 (both x86_64 and IA32) and Fedora Core 5. In all cases, running the following command fails: # smbpasswd -a Administrator New SMB password:

Hi all, I have a problem with using smbclient, my current setup as follows: - Linux 9 login/password: excalibur & xxx Windows 2000 login/password: MYDOMAIN\darrenk & yyy - Linux smb service - did not change anything in smb.conf except to make it use plain passwords: ; encrypt passwords = yes ; smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd - Windows 2000 - apply plain password

Hi, I'm trying to get a Samba (version 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3) to play with some WinXP boxes. I'm using WORKGROUPS, not DOMAIN. The server is running under Fedora Core 3. And I'm following the troubleshooting chapter in the O'Reilly book, Chapter 9. I cannot browse the shares from my WinXP machine. I CAN browse and access shares okay as a client on the Samba server machine. I

It is my understanding that if you have a wildcard in smbusers, it should only apply this if the particular users is not in your /etc/password file. Is this true? It appears like samba is rolling down the smbusers file and everything gets mapped to my wildcard user. Eg. smbusers: root = administrator admin nobody = guest pcguest smbguest myunixlogin = mysmblogin www-users = * If I map a

Hi, i am trying to map the domain administrator to root using the smbusers file in order to be able to set file permissions from windows. Unfortunately, while the map itself seem to succeed, the logins fails. If i remove the relevant line in smbusers, login succeed but i lack superuser privileges. Here is log.smbd while trying to map administrator to root [2008/07/09 12:50:42, 4]

Hello. I don't know if you're the person who can help me. I've got a problem with Samba 3.5.8.1 on a AIX 5.3 TL11SP1 machine. I installed and configured Samba. It worked fine. I use a DOMAIN member security mode. The join into our domain worked well. Any users from a Windows computer is able to access to the AIX machine. But the only problem I have is this one : - The use

Running samba-3.0.23c on Genoo linux Is it possible with smbusers to allow a windows user to have root privleges on a linux share? A stock install of samba on Gentoo ends up with an /etc/samba/smbusers file that contains this mapping: root = administrator admin It appears then that other windows users could as well be mapped to root like: root = administrator admin harry and since I am the

Hello, i have a user, say userA, which has a valid account (/etc/passwd) on my RH 6.1CZ box, as well as samba one (/etc/smbpasswd). userA logs into his win98 box as a userB, which is unknown both to samba and unix. So I put a new record in /etc/smbusers like this: userA = userB afterwards I have restarted samba server, but the user still cannot connect to his samba shares if he use userB as his

The samba.org documentation page does not provide a man page for the possible formats for the smbusers file. I am fighting with samba->Active Directory and mapping AD users to Unix logins. The AD guy says credentials can be either: <Domain NetbiosName>/<lanid> or <lanid>@<Domain FQDN> BUT, I seem to be having luck (with some help from the log files) using:

Hi list, Update: originally i wanted to post a question, but in writing i thought of things that finally led me to the solution. This i wanted to share with the community in case it can help. Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I had no luck searching for it. I have a working Samba 2.2.5 installation on SuSE8.1. I have two users on a windows client called Torge (that's me) and Ga&ediaresis;lle

Hi All, Since Y'all helped solve the last problem, I have one more that would be really a great thing if it could work. I have several accounts on the linux box that I work with and help out on and would love to be able to get them to be available with w98. Besides my regular account, I work on the following (as setup in smbusers): root = vikki ... vx1 = vikki vx7 = vikki nslmc = vikki

If I try to create a clearcase view on a Windows 2000 Server share then it creates a subdirectory tree. If I try it on a Samba share, it creates the first directory correctly with the right user mapping and permissions and then returns permission denied. I am able to manually create files and directories on the samba share using explorer, so I guess that clearcase must be using some different SMB

Dear all! Since several days I'm trying to get Samba's unix password sync to work for me, but I still have problems. I'm using the Samba 3.0.22 binaries that come with Ubuntu 6.06 and this is the [global] section of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = TEST domain logons = yes preferred master = yes wins support = yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers syslog = 100 add machine script

I've set up Samba 3.0.9 with ADS support and open LDAP 2.2.23 on freeBSD 5.3. I've got all the essential services working as far as i can tell. Nmbd, smbd, and winbindd are running. I've created a machine account in the domain with the net ads join command. Wbinfo -u returns a list of my AD domain users in the DOMAIN\username format Wbinfo -g returns my groups in the same

All, I'm new to Samba so this may be a very easy fix, but I've not been able to find it anywhere online or in the /Samba-3 By Example/ book. I'm currently testing Samba 3.0.23c with an OpenLDAP v3 backend on CentOS 5. I am able to get OpenLDAP installed and running for authentication and can get Samba installed and configured well enough to request and accept a LDAP user

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my samba and winbind configuration: before I switched the config (from local user authentication to AD authentication using winbind) my users were able to authenticate for example as ?peter?. Now, after switching, they are forced to use SAMBASERVERNAME\peter. If they use only ?peter? winbind tries to authenticate them against the AD which fails. Is there a way

Hello, I migrate posix users in ldap (nss_ldap). but now, if I join a windows station to my SAMBA 2 domain from my windows xp station: everything seems ok : user add to the local /etc/passwd and the windows welcomes me in the domain but after the reboot and when I try to connect : on the windows XP : Domain password server not available nad in the log of SMb : get_md4pw: Workstation

Hi, I'm very new to *nix and really just playing with it to teach myself some stuff... Anway I don't beleive my problem is a hard one, yet I can't seem to find a answer online :( Basically I've just installed FreeBSD 4.5 and Samba 2.2.2_3 (most likly not the lastest but came with my distro)... I noticed that samba seems to use a different set of users and passwords to the normal
