Hello Everyone!
I've spent quite a bit trying to get these shares to work just right. I'll past the
output of my smb.conf at the end of this message. If anyone has any advice on this,
that would be great.
My first problem is that I'm trying to sync up my /etc/passwd with the
/etc/samba/smbpasswd file. (I'm using Mandrake 9.0 and Samba 2.2.6-1.0.pre2.2.mdk.
Mandrake puts the smbpasswd file in the /etc/samba directory. When I do this command
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd
It does create a smbpasswd file. However, then None of the users can log in to the
shares. I can log into the win98 client, and then see the user's home directory, the
care directory, and the public directory but can't log in to them.
I've also tried to create the smbpasswd file with webmin, but that doesn't seem to
work either, it gives me three options:
For newly created users, set the password to 1. no password, 2. account locked, 3. use
this password
What if I want the same password as the linux password? argh!
The only way I can log into the shares is to actually create an individual password
using smbpasswd -a username.
What am I missing? I know I have successfully done this in the past?
When I do create the password with smbpasswd, I can log in, see the shares, and
actually log in, but Ihave to enter in the password again to access the shares. Should
I have to log in twice?
Sorry for the double questions, Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
