Hi, I've been Googling around trying to found why I can't make SAMBA (concretely smbpasswd and pdbedit) make good use of the information held in the file /etc/samba/smbusers. I have done a clean install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.1 Update 3 (both x86_64 and IA32) and Fedora Core 5. In all cases, running the following command fails:
# smbpasswd -a Administrator New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user Administrator. Does this user exist in the UNIX password database ? Failed to modify password entry for user Administrator Even though /etc/samba/smbusers look like this: root = Administrator admin guest = nobody Running: # smbpasswd -a root Works fine, however. I don't understand why both smbpasswd and pdbedit ignore the user mapping defined in /etc/samba/smbusers. Any ideas? Am I wrong?
