I tried it but it doesn't work. For me it looks like a problem with PAM. Rejecting sound like "ok, you typed in the right password, but you're not allowed to login..."
We've got a second system for failover and the samba configuration-files are 100% identical - but samba-login as root works. By the way, the smbpasswd file on the failover-system doesn't contain a entry for root, too. So for me it looks like a problem between samba and PAM or PAM is unable to verify the login. But more and more I get lack of ideas.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rudi Labermeier IT Administrator SP3D Chip Design GmbH Phone: +49 8151 270-119 Petersbrunner Str. 17 Fax: +49 8151 270-200 D-82319 Starnberg mailto:rudi.labermeier@;philips.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@locutu To: Rudi Labermeier/STN/SC/PHILIPS@EMEA1 s2.yi.org> Samba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: 22.10.02 15:08 Subject: Re: AW: [Samba] user root is not accepted anymore Classification: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > for me it looks not like a configuration problem. > After a new reinstallation of samba i found the message > > smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User root ! > > in log.smbd > > Any more ideas? > try 'smbpasswd -a root'. Since it said that the user root didn't exist in the smbpasswd file, try adding it back -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
