Security = share to allow samba to authenticate against the local passwd files correct?
AFAIK, SAMBA can't authenticate against local /etc/passwd, since SAMBA needs the LM or NTLM hashes of the password which, of course, are not stored in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow. Usually, UNIX passwords are hashed with MD5, or encrypted with Blowfish, then stored into /etc/shadow, but no LM or NTLM hashes are calculated and stored in that file You must use a backend that supports storing LM and NTLM hashes, such as ldapsam or tdb. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
