A while ago I posted to the list about my huge problems getting Samba to
work. I had a lot of different issues, one of them being a complete
breakdown in functionality when setting Samba security level to "user".
This was with TSL 2.2.
A few days ago I managed to crack the problem: It had nothing to do with
TSL or Samba - it was Webmin.
When using Webmin to convert Linux users to Samba users, something goes
wrong and the user isn't created correct. Instead you get a Samba user
that looks right, but where the password is wrong (I suspect that is
what happens).
So I dumped Webmin and did it from CLI (smbpasswd -a USERNAME), and
VOILA! it worked like a charm.
Morale: 3rd party tools are great - just don't trust them 100%.
The above was done with Webmin version 1180. I haven't tested it with
later versions, as it is faster doing it from CLI. Go figure. :o)
Hope someone can benefit from this lesson - I for one was very pleased
to find out why my Samba server was acting weird.
Sincerely,
Thomas
