I set up a LM ( Linux Mandrake ) machine a 6 or 7 months ago with LM8.2 and samba 2.2.8a.
I set up a 5 disk software raid 5 and made 5 accounts and 5 entries into smbpasswd using smbpasswd -an XXXXXX All went fine, nothing out of the usual happened and all users could hammer the raid remotely to see if it died. I have just resurrected the machine, which has been powered down for about 4 months now. When i now enter smbpasswd -an XXXX i get the following !! [EMAIL PROTECTED] mctkeaw]# smbpasswd -an mctssvw LDAPS option set...! ldap_connect_system: Binding to ldap server as "" Bind failed: Can't contact LDAP server LDAPS option set...! ldap_connect_system: Binding to ldap server as "" Bind failed: Can't contact LDAP server Failed to add entry for user mctssvw. Failed to modify password entry for user mctssvw [EMAIL PROTECTED] mctkeaw]# I have looked in passwd and mctssvw is there. allow null passwords is in the global settings of smb.conf I have also looked in smb.conf and the ldap options are commented out. I have no idea why this should start now, nothing has been added or changed since it was last powered down. Can anybody help Many thanks Ken -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
