Re: [Samba] authenticate from /etc/passwd

[Steve Waltner]

For easy reference, the registry changes are as follows. Just put the  
listed information into the filenames listed and open the file on each  
client system allowing RegEdit to make the registry changes. You will  
need to reboot to pickup the changes. After doing this, you will be  
able to authenticate from the UNIX password information. The Windows  
system will always prompt for the password for the share even if your  
password matches because the password is being sent in cleartext across  
the wire.

windows95.reg
========================
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]

"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
========================
windowsnt.reg
========================
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters]

"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
========================
windows2k.reg (also XP and 2003)
========================
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\ 
parameters]

"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001

I'm not sure if this is wat you want. You can keep /etc/passwd en  
smbpasswd
in sync using the "unix password sync = yes" option.

Subject: [Samba] authenticate from /etc/passwd
Hi All,
I want my samba to authenticate users from UNIX /etc/passwd instead of
smbpasswd file when they access the samba shares from win2k. What  
parameter

should I define to make it happen.

Sincerely,

Sohail
