Yes, it's installed when you install samba, I should have specified I meant "by default when installing samba", sorry about that.
I've looked around for a good while now trying to find out what hashes and encryption samba uses on it's files. I assumed it would have to use whatever hash the protocol uses, and it looks like I guessed right. Looking around for specifications on whats stored in the password database I find this in samba's documentation: "user account information such as username, LM/NT password hashes, password change times, and account flags" So that's LanMan and MD4 hash'es. LanMan is known for being easy to crack (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LM_hash ). My /etc/secrets are hashed to sha512 because it's too easy to break md5. I REALLY don't want my password automatically put in more databases by default in any package. -- libpam-smbpass syncs unix passwords when "unix password sync" is off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609092 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
