similar to: Re: Authentication Question; WAS: installing Samba as non-root user

Hi, I've recently started at a new company that doesn't have a system in place to map my Linux home directory within Windows. I have my own Linux box (a recent Redhat install), and my own Windows XP PC. I will get no help from a system admin here, so my only option is to try installing Samba myself on my Linux box. To my surprise, I've found little or no information on installing

...we are running a samba-2.0.6 server on a Sun E3000, to provide file and print service (but not logon service) to users on PCs. It works fine except for an enormously annoying problem: ordinary (nonroot) users are not able to change their own samba passwd. When a user invokes smbpasswd he or she gets the following response: euler$ /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd Old SMB password: New SMB

I've searched the archives for an answer to this problem, and yet nothing that works seems to have been posted. I've seen it posted many times In my particular case, I'm running Samba 2.0.6 on Solaris 2.5.1, configured with the --with-smbwrapper, --with-automount, and --with-syslog options. I also have samba set up as a PDC, and that seems to be working fine. A stripped down

Greetings, This is my first post (hopefully not too newbie for this group). Thank you in advance to anyone who feels compelled to help. I'm trying to get a copy of Samba 2.2.2 running on Solaris 9 to authenticate against an NT domain. I have successfully done this on a Redhat 7.2 box which is running Samba 2.2.4 on the same domain. As best as I can tell, the configurations of these

Hi! I'm using Samba in an AD setup, (version 4.2.0) and I'm looking for a way to change the password of a user from the command line, as a non-root user. I know I can use 'smbpasswd', 'samba-tool user setpassword', or 'samba-tool user password', but these all seem to require root privileges. When I run them as root, they work, but when I run them as non-root

I am running samba 2.2.8a with the pam_smbpass included in it (running on Sparc Solaris 2.8). When I run passwd as root, the unix password and smbpasswd passwords are both changed successfully. However, if I do this as a regular user I get a core dump as follows: $ passwd passwd: Changing password for mprewitt Enter existing login password: New Password: Re-enter new Password: Bus Error

OS = RHEL 5 samba version 3.0.33-3.29 openldap 2.3 is it possible to have linux users stored in an ldap directory and still use the passdb backend = smbpasswd. I have an existing smbpasswd password db and an existing set of linux users I have migrated the linux users to LDAP and authenticating successfully until I have time to get all samba credentials migrated to ldap i still need use the

I?m setting up a Linux machine (CentOS7) and am trying to allow tap/tun tunneling. Our organization?s security policy prohibits root logins. Using OpenSSH server 7.4 (as provided by the CentOS repositories) non-root users are able to open tunnels as long as the sshd_config has The setting UsePrivilegeSeparation=no. All is well, but I wonder what security risks I am taking by disabling the

I'm trying to set up a samba server, such that 60 or so win 98 users can log into the linux box and be plopped into their respective home directories on it. I don't want them to be promted for passwords, I want the PDC, an NT box, to take care that in such a wy that I do not need a smbpasswd file. I know almost nothing about NT, but the server running works just fine, and will let people

We're experiencing a problem where one of our users is unable to authenticate to Samba some times (1 - 2 times/week out of 5). Typically when it happens, it's when she first attempts to access it in the morning. Regardless of how many times she tries again, she is unable to authenticate. However, if she tries later in the day, it works fine. She is the only user this has happened to.

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 -- I have what I hope is a minor configuration problem. My PDC is configured so that it works just fine. I am trying to set up an additional domain server (not PDC or BDC), so that students can get to the material on the server.? When I type "net use w: \\water\archive" (where water is the domain server and archive is a share), I invariably get the message that I need to input a

Hello, I am currently testing my old samba configuration, 1.9.18p10, under samba 2.0.2. Everything appeard o.k. for the first few hours, but then I started receiving calls from users of our Citrix based multi user NT 3.51 servers, that some of them could not connect to the samba shares. We are using two Citrix based boxes. Windd from Tektronix and NTRIGUE. I only had one user on the Windd
