All: I would rate this high if only I was reproducing it. I'm not. I can connect to shares after a reboot, without having to do smbpasswd -a again. So I suspect something more specific.
@Martin: if I understand correctly, you add the user (and set a password) using "smbpasswd -a". Is the password you use here the same as the Unix password used to login as the user on the samba server, or is it different ? libpam-smbpass, which is installed on your samba server, ensures synchronization of passwords at every login. Suppose you use "secretknock" as the unix password for user "foo" on the server. If you run "sudo smbpasswd -a foo" and set "sk" as the SMB password, it will work for a while... until you log in to the server as user "foo" again, at which point the SMB password for foo will automatically be set to "secretknock". -- samba server requires smbpasswd -a user constantly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
