Apologies if this is a RTFM issue... My first question is: anyone know of code that can assist in going through samba logfiles (looking for errors, etc.)?
I have what appears to be a password expiration problem. User X has been able to mount a shared drive off the samba box using his login/password. Suddenly it doesn't appear to work: he can run "net use Z: \\server\share" from his XP box, it tries to mount the drive, pops up with an invalid user/pw type of error, prompts for credentials. Enter what had been valid credentials, doesn't work. I ssh over to samba box, run pdbedit -L -v, his account expiration stuff looks like this: Logon time: 0 Logoff time: Mon, 18 Jan 2038 19:14:07 GMT Kickoff time: Mon, 18 Jan 2038 19:14:07 GMT Password last set: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 00:11:57 GMT Password can change: 0 Password must change: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 00:11:57 GMT Also, if I slapcat the ldap morass into a file and check the expiration time it's also in the future: sambaPwdMustChange: 1200039117 <- by my calculation the same date as listed above. We tried again, no soap. Reset password on server using the smbldap-password command, drive mounts fine. You could say that he was typing in the wrong password, but for one he administers a bunch of machines and is used to typing in passwords, and for two I had to run through all my users over the course of a couple of days and have them reset their passwords, same type of thing. Is there any other place I should be looking for something that would cause credentials not to work? I thought PAM, but all the account cruft is in LDAP and the data therein looks good (e.g. this user doesn't have an entry in /etc/password or /etc/shadow also). XP weirdness? It's probably worth mentioning that we don't do any kind of policy management on XP, stock xp pro installs from CD. Samba 3.0.20b openldap-2.2.13-4 idealx tools 0.9.1 Red Hat AS4 If that matters. Thanks for any hints or clues where to look! -- Joe Mailander [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
