Hello, I am trying to run Samba 2.2.8a in an embedded linux system and running into problems with smbpasswd. With both smbd and nmbd processes running fine ( the log files at log level 3 don't show errors), when I try to add a user to the smbpasswd file I get the following error.
# smbpasswd -a pbathini New SMB password: Retype new SMB passwd: User pbathini does not exist in system passwd file ( usually /etc/passwd). Cannot add accounet without a valid local system user. Failed to modify password entry for user pbathini # My /etc/passwd file looks like this. root::0:0:root:/:/bin/sh nobody::99:99:Nobody:/:/bin/sh pbathini::500:500::/cramfs:/bin/sh Why is smbpasswd unable to find user entry in /etc/passwd file? Can somebody please help? Pushpa -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
