The drive in my linux server died a few days ago, so I was forced to rebuild it from scratch... Everything has been configured mostly the way I had it, except Samba... For some reason, it refuses to keep the password I've assigned between boots.
When I first brought it up, I created a 'smbusr' with a password (say 'foo') and was able to log in from my Windows box no problem. I then ran an update on the server that required a restart and, when it came back up, I couldn't log in with my Windows machine. Thinking I had maybe forgotten the password, I ran 'sudo smbpasswd smbusr' and reset it to 'foo'. After that, I could get back in. On a hunch, I rebooted the server again and ran into the same problem! I can't log into my Samba share until I run smbpasswd again! Surely, it's something stupid I'm missing... Could anyone point me in the right direction?
