Hi; We've recently upgraded from Samba 1.7 to Samba 2.2.8 and we're using Samba to allow our users to connect to their Unix home directories from their PC's. Under 1.7 users were able to connect by mapping a drive from windows explorer and entering their unix username and password. Now, when we do this we get a "Incorrect password or Unknown username" error message. I've discovered that adding the user to the smbpasswd file solves this problem, but we'd prefer not to have to create a smbpasswd entry for each of our 200+ users.
Is there anyway to modify the smb.conf file so that an entry in smbpasswd is not required? (Relevant sections of my smb.conf below). Or is there anyway to automatically take a Sun Solaris passwd file and reformat it into a smbpasswd file?
