similar to: smbpasswd not working

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

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:

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

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

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

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.

Hey everyone, firstly thanks for your time, I've spent hours, a lot straight days too, for the last couple of weeks trying to solve this issue. The only thing (afai can see) I've got left is asking the experts and formatting all the machines and starting over, the latter of which I'm not interesting in doing because it doesn't solve the issue (well it might make the problem go

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 All I'm trying to set up a machine with a simple samba configuration. I've written the config file with no problems, however any time I attempt to connect to the shares it doesn't work.

There is a bug in Swat package samba-swat-3.0.2a-3mdk The password functions are not working: add user, change password, enable user. If you add or enable a user, the user will be disabled. You can check this by opening /etc/samba/smbpasswd file.

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

Dear all, We recently upgraded an old samba 3.0.10 to 3.4.6 due to broken quota when moving from Veritas to NFS mounts from a Cellera EMC. Anyway, Our samba passwd backend is a smbpasswd file. This file is generated from a database. Recently we see that some PC clients manage to change the LANMAN field in the smbpasswd file. e.g.

I have two samba servers running Ubuntu 10.04 Samba Version 3.4.7 One server acts as domain controller and stores user ids in a .tdb Somehow I've ended up with a duplicate user name.

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]

Hello, I am running Samba 3.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.04 amd64. Due to legacy support, I am using a smbpasswd file (chmod 600) instead of the newer tdbsam database. It is also worth noting that this server also has LDAP authentication enabled (for SSH access). Clients access Samba from both Windows 7 and Windows XP. The smb.conf file is as follows: [global] workgroup = HOME printcap name =

This is really bizarre. Running Samba 3.0.4 on SuSE 9.1. The password backend is smbpasswd. Each user has a system and samba account and everything has worked as expected until recently.

I just did a clean install of Fedora 9 onto a Pentium 4 machine. It is actually running SELinux enforcing, but I haven't found any errors related to that so far. It is running Samba 3.2.3-0.20. I am trying to migrate a Windows NT 4.0 domain with about 30 users and 30 computers onto a pure Samba setup, using Samba as the PDC and tdbsam. I have read the HOWTO guide extensively, and
