After upgrading to 3.4.0, I can no longer add new users. Any users that were added beforehand work fine. Any users that I attempt to create cannot login (error: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE). I was able to get one new user account to work (see below), but I cannot add any new users.
The server is Ubuntu 9.10 running Samba 3.4.0. I am using: security = user pam password change = yes Updating passwords for existing users using passwd successfully updates on smbpass (auth.log): Jul 13 21:19:05 server passwd[3026]: pam_smbpass(passwd:chauthtok): password for (smbuser/1001) changed by (root/0) ...And authentication over smb works (auth.log): Jul 13 21:42:53 server smbd[3684]: pam_unix(samba:session): session opened for user ben by (uid=0) ...In samba.log: [2011/07/13 21:42:53, 4] auth/auth_sam.c:137(sam_account_ok) sam_account_ok: Checking SMB password for user smbuser [2011/07/13 21:42:53, 5] auth/auth.c:297(check_ntlm_password) check_ntlm_password: PAM Account for user [ben] succeeded However, if I do: smbpasswd -x user Failed to find entry for user smbuser. If I add a new user using: useradd newuser passwd newuser smbpasswd -a newuser This appears in auth.log: Jul 13 21:20:07 server passwd[3033]: pam_smbpass(passwd:chauthtok): Failed to find entry for user newuser. And if I attempt to authenticate (samba.log): [2011/07/13 21:50:11, 3] auth/auth_sam.c:282(check_sam_security) check_sam_security: Couldn't find user 'newuser' in passdb. [2011/07/13 21:50:11, 5] auth/auth.c:274(check_ntlm_password) check_ntlm_password: sam authentication for user [newuser] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER [2011/07/13 21:50:11, 2] auth/auth.c:320(check_ntlm_password) check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [newuser] -> [newuser] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER Now... Here's where it gets interesting. At this point, I converted my smbpasswd containing newuser to tdb...: pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam ...the account newuser now authenticate over SMB. However, adding any other new users is still not working. I have attempted to repeat the steps described above for adding a user and then converting smbpasswd to tdb again, but to no avail. I have not defined passdb backend in smb.conf. Anyone know what could be causing this? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
