We have two solaris 9 boxes with Samba 3.0.20, which authenticate against a solaris 8 box with Samba 2.2.8a. My question is about the /usr/local/samba/private files secret.tbd and smbpasswd. We initially copied the smbpasswd from the 2.2.8a to the newer ones, but it is not often kept up to date.
I was getting ready to work on setting up CFENGINE to keep the files in sync when I was just told that I should simply empty the smbpasswd files, as the authentication is done by the other system. However, if I delete an account from the smbpasswd file, it appears to loose direct access to the files on that server. We are having a lot of inconsistant problems with controlling access since moving files to the 3.0 systems, which I will discuss in another message after we clarify how things should be setup. The clients are all windows, but we don't have any windows servers.
