When using smb-2b.lrp to run a Samba server I couldn't get Windows XP clients to connect, so I decided to compile some of the latest versions (2.2.3a, 2.2.7a, 2.2.8) of Samba to use. However with these new versions I get the following error when trying to login from any client (Win2K, smbclient):
build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt! username someuser not in unix passwd database! The odd thing is that the user does exist in /etc/passwd, and everything worked fine before with smb-2b.lrp (version 2.0.4b). Similarly, when using smbpasswd to add a user I get the error message: User someotheruser does not exist in system password file (usually /etc/passwd). Cannot add account without a valid local system user. Failed to modify password entry for user someotheruser I've statically compiled these new versions so it shouldn't be a library issue. Has anybody had any success using Samba (other than the smb-2.lrp & smb-2b.lrp packages) or knows what the problem might be? Has anybody had success connecting with WinXP clients when using the smb-2.lrp or smb-2b.lrp packages? Any help/guesses would be greatly appreciated. -- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
