Re: Connecting to a Windows share
|
Jim,
Samba2 stores user encrypted passwords in a file called smbpasswd.
That file is
written with the smbpasswd program, see the info below.
Samba 3 uses a database backend instead of the smbpasswd file, and uses
smbpasswd,
net, and pdbedit commands.
See: http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/passdb.html
To add a new samba user in version 2, you do something like
smbpasswd -a newuser /etc/samba/smbpasswd
# smbpasswd -help
When run by root:
smbpasswd [options] [username]
otherwise:
smbpasswd [options]
options:
-L local mode (must be first option)
-h print this usage message
-s use stdin for password prompt
-c smb.conf file Use the given path to the smb.conf file
-D LEVEL debug level
-r MACHINE remote machine
-U USER remote username
extra options when run by root or in local mode:
-a add user
-d disable user
-e enable user
-i interdomain trust account
-m machine trust account
-n set no password
-w PASSWORD ldap admin password
-x delete user
-R ORDER name resolve order

I tried that, but I do not know the format. I tried typing like a host
file, i.e.:
jim <password>
Is there syntax involved in this? I used the GUI to open the file,
type it
in, then saved the file. Still no luck.

Jim,
Did you set the username/password for the user Jim using smbpasswd ?
Samba does NOT use the password/shadow file for password !
