[gentoo-user] Samba encrypted passwords will not work with Gentoo

[Alan Watson]

I am having problems getting Samba to use encrypted passwords on Gentoo. I have tried all the normal resources (read samba mailing lists) with no success. I'm not completely new to the programme having run it previously on an earlier version of Caldera Linux. But obviously without ldap. After creating my password file with: cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd After running the command I then tried to set up my users with: smbpasswd [username] I get the response - New SMB password - which I enter (twice to confirm). But instead of completing I get the errors: LDAPS option set...! fetch_ldap_pw: no ldap secret retrieved! ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for from secrets.tdb Failed to find entry for user [username] Failed to modify password entry for user [username] Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Alan
