Hello, I can not seem to get smbpsswd to add any users to samba. No
matter if I use the CLI, the Webmin module or SWAT I always get this
response when trying to add any user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# smbpasswd -m -a gerard
Failed initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user gerard$.
Failed to modify password entry for user gerard$
I take it this has somehting to do with PAM & or shadow passwords, & I
have been lookig for a about a week & the best that I can find anything
related to this 'SAM_ACCOUNT' that resembles my problem, is that I need
to make sure that ./configure (I have no idea which ./confiugure it is
although I suspect that it is the one from a manual build of samba.
Since mine was installed along wtih a bunch of other stuff when I
upgraded from RH9 to fedore core 1, I have no idea where it might be)
has PAM & or shadow options enabled. Any help in this matter would be
greatly appreciated.
