You running 4.X or 5.X One FreeBSD gotach I recall was the need to have samba_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf As for Samba... I think there was one (maybe two) options in smb.conf which were no longer valid and I just took them out and all was well. I only have samba on 2 very small networks, but other than the smb.conf options have not had any issues/problems. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, you should definitely take a look into the official Samba-3 HOWTO. http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf there is a separate part about migration and updating. you should also read about the Account Information Databases in part-III/chapter 10, as this is importand to reuse your old smbpasswd or passdb.tdb file. good luck ;-) Joerg - -- The beginning is the most important part of the work. -Plato -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCitbiSPOsGF+KA+MRAhAqAJoCVyfh4ncLnS9S5ZK7/qgXSr8CYwCdF8Iw fr/opIoZLDrtZ6tjUWRKdtI= =67og -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have one. On smaller networks I use the UNIX password file and just switch on unencrypted passwords on the Windows clients. When you have 12-15 people in the office, and the server is in an unlocked broom closet, your kidding yourself if you think that encrypting passwords on the wire will do anything whatsoever to increase your data security.
