Well I went from centos 5 to 6 and copied over my smb.conf and everything worked fine I can't remember if I copied over the smb passwords or just created them again with smbpasswd, but I have not used tdbedit, so I didn't realize that it is the preferred method now. And now that I've looked at it, smbpasswd is still supported, but I don't know for how long. :P

Lee,
you're right. tdbedit is the command.
Thanks,

    Glad to hear you have it working.

    Your question about tbdsam kind of stumped me in that I had no
    idea where samba stored this information.

    After some searching around, I found out that the tbdsam files are
    stored in /var/lib/samba/private  (On Centos 6.x at least)

    But I'm not finding the command you're mentioning, tbdconfig.  Are
    you sure you're spelling it right?

    I did stumble across a command you might find useful: pdbedit

    This will list info on all your samba users:

    pdbedit -L -v

    I used tbdconfig to set my password instead of smbpasswd. I
    rebooted, and now it works.

    Thanks,

    ok, I ran getenforce. It was "enforcing". I ran setenforce

    Here is my conf entry:

       valid users = +voltamp
       path = /voltamp

     I did the smbpasswd for the user, but I can't find where the user
    is added. my conf file says it uses the tdbsam, but I don't know
    much about it.

    I checked my file permissions, they are set to 770. Any ideas?

    The conf file isn't the only thing you need to copy.  You also
    need the file(s) that hold the samba passwords.  Where this file
    is and what it is called has changed in more recent versions of
    samba, so you'll have to do some looking.  Your smb.conf file
    should tell you something.  The smbusers file might also need to
    be copied.

    Also, as others have mentioned, SELINUX is a hell of a drug.
     Luckily it can be configured to let samba do its thing.  I did
    this myself recently and only two changes were required, but don't
    ask me to repeat them from memory.  There is a tool in KDE that
    runs in the system tray that tells you when selinux is fussing,
    and it also provides tips on how to make it be quiet.  This is how
    I got it working on my laptop.

    Subject: Samba on CentOS

    Hi all,
    I am trying to get Samba to installed on a CentOS 6.2 machine. I
    have read-only access working, but when I try to make edits to
    files, it claims I don't have permissions. I copied my smb.conf
    file from another machine that had things working, so the conf
    file should be good.

    I read some online about SELinux settings. I tried setting a few,
    but it had no change. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Eric
