I'm trying to access Linux "shares" from a windows machine. So I went
through this on my Linux server:
# cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd > /etc/samba/smbpasswd
# smbpasswd -U p
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
The first command created the file /etc/samba/smbpasswd with all the
user names (as expected) with disabled accounts (passwords are all
X's). I typed in the same password twice. Everything looked good,
but when I looked at /etc/samba/smbpasswd, it didn't change. The
entry still says:
p:1000:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: ......
I was expecting some of those "X"'s to be part of an encrypted string.
Shouldn't smbpasswd change this file in *some* way? I do declare the
location of the password file in /etc/samba/smb.conf:
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
Help. I have no idea what to do. I'm leaving on Saturday for
Guatemala for 2.5 weeks, and I'd like to get this fixed before I go if
possible.
Thanks!
Pete
