John,
I'm sorry I should have send more information than I did. I am running RH6_2, and
Samba-2.0.6-9 )
installed as RPM) "sync", encrypt, and update are set to yes... Like I said this has
worked in the past
with this very same smb.conf. Does the "domain login" password come from a password
file and
the "share" password another? Is that why sync is important? Always thought they
both come from the
smbpasswd file. Like I said I'm really at a loss about this. If the above is
correct I have at least
somewhere to start looking. What started this was a script I've written to add
accounts through a
webpage that creates the system account and the samba account while comparing some
user data to a file
we create from our admin system DOB/SSN things like that, and does some expire work
and account
deletion. While doing this I had to recompile the smbpasswd binary to accept being
called like I needed
it to. The script works on another system that I thought was identical to mine...
which adds
another "WTH" level to al this stuff. Hope this info helps... but can anyone come up
with an idea that
would explain this type of behaviour? I know the system account is being added
properly. because they
can check email and such through IMP (shameless horde.org plug!), but they can't seem
to authenticate
against the domain login file whatever that may be "shadow", "passwd", "smbpasswd"??
Thanks YET AGAIN!!
Mike
