Good Afternoon,

I had sent in an earlier message about trying to login and getting dropped from a W2000 workstation. I received a reply back to upgrade Samba from 3.013 to 3.020x. I did this.

Operating System: SuSE 9.3
Samba Version: 3.0.20a (SuSE's RPMs)

I am using /etc/samba/smbpasswd file and not LDAP to store the users and passwords.

[global]
   passwd chat debug = Yes
   passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n *changed*
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY
   logon drive = P:
   interfaces = 127.0.0.1 192.1.51.0/255.255.255.0 eth1
   hosts allow = 192.168.51.0/24 127.0.0.1
   hosts deny = ALL
   domain master = Yes
   log level = 2
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   max log size = 50
   debug timestamp = yes
   username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
   map to guest = Bad User
   encrypt passwords = yes
   logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
   passdb backend = smbpasswd
;    printer admin = @ntadmin, root, administrator
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   wins support = yes
   printcap cache time = 750
   netbios name = smb
   cups options = raw
   printing = cups
   logon script = logon.bat
   unix password sync = True
   local master = Yes
   workgroup = CMC
   logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
   os level = 65
   printcap name = cups
   security = user
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
   domain logons = Yes
   name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast
;    name resolve order = lmhosts hosts bcast
   dns proxy = yes

I then went back to the drawing board and started to run the samba tests. On the windows client, I received a "System error 1326 has occurred" message when I attempted the net use x: \\server\username. The English translation of the message was "Login Failure: unknown user or bad password". I googled this and rightfully or wrongfully, I thought that maybe there was a problem with the passwords (http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20040131.202546.2961584d.en.html).

I attempted to change the password of the user using smbpasswd and I received a dialog similar to this:

# smbpasswd <username>

New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 4 (maximum
password age (seconds since 1970)), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 5 (minimum
password age (seconds since 1970)), returning 0

So I wondered if this was caused by the change from 3.0.13 to 3.0.30a. See http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-April/103603.html. I used webmin to delete the user from /etc/samba/smbpasswd and it worked. I then attempted to do a smbpasswd -a <username> and I got the same error as above.

I cannot add users to the system nor can I login into the domain.

Please help.  Thanks in advance,

Frank
