[Samba] Joining an NT domain using the smbpasswd command

2002-10-31 Thread Hewitt, Tom



I'm evaluating Linux 
(Redhat Linux 8.0), with a view to migrating from Windows but have been 
having a frustrating few days trying to configure Samba 2.2.5 via the terminal 
from within the Gnome GUI.

I can get Samba to 
work when it comes to Windows clients using the Linux box as a file server but 
am having no joy when I attempt to use the smbpasswd command to joinan NT 
domain.
I keep receiving the 
message - smbpasswd:command not found.
I have rigorously 
followed the instructions that came with Sambaregarding 
it'sinstallation and still I get this message.

Can anyone out there 
shed some light on this problem for me?

Many 
thanks,

Tom

Have you tried locate smbpasswd  or find / -name smbpasswd in order to 
determine where it is on your machine?  Things get put in funky places, ie  
outside of your $PATH sometimes.  At least it looks to me like it's your 
shell saying it can't find smbpasswd.

I don't know how RedHat 8.0 installs samba.  They do tend to break it up into 
pieces and you may not have the rpm installed that contains smbpasswd.  I 
wouldn't think so, but it's a thought.
