Re: Samba encrypted passwd file

Is the documentation wrong, or am I missing a file? I've tried to locate mksmbpasswd* but found nothing. Make that locate mksmbpasswd (without the '*'). Also, doesn't this copy the /etc/password file? But if I'm running shadow passwords, doesn't that mean the encrypted file won't be able to find the passwords? The only thing that mksmbpasswd does is to copy the user names and IDs from the /etc/passwd to /etc/smbpasswd, nothing else. Passwords in the just created smbpasswd file are XX so you will have to run smbpasswd to set the password for each user in the smbpasswd file (Unix hashes are different than NT hashes, so there is no automatic way to convert Unix hashes to NT hashes). peloy.-

Re: Samba passwords
Hi,
Brian Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Does anyone know how to set a Samba user password to NONE, if a password
already exists? I've tried smbpasswd [user] and hit return twice, only
to find that Samba password not changed.
Well, firstly, are you using password encryption? If you are, then
passwords are stored in /etc/smbpasswd and you need to fill that file
with valid account names and passwords (hint: use smbpasswd -a
username).
If not, then the security depends on the setting of the security =
parameter in /etc/smb.conf.
Recommended readings are: /usr/doc/samba/{ENCRYPTION.txt,security_level.txt}
Finally, Samba by default does not allow acces to accounts that have
null passwords. To change this add this to the [global] section of
/etc/smb.conf:
null passwords = yes
See man smb.conf for more info.

I will have several laptops that will need to be able to print to these printers. All the laptops will be running windows 98.

Do I need to specify anything in the smb.conf file (ip addresses, etc.) or is that done somewhere else in a different package? We use Samba and the lpr package to accomplish the same thing you are trying to do (Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT clients). Quick Start: 1) Edit /etc/smb.conf: [global] printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes [...] [printers] comment = Printers in /etc/printcap browseable = no path = /var/tmp writable = no public = no printable = yes [...] (the default smb.conf provided with the Samba package for Debian has these). 2) Edit /etc/printcap: lj5_text|Remote LaserJet 5 in text mode:\ :lp=:\ :rm=laserjet5:\ :rp=text:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote/lj5_text:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: lj5|Remote LaserJet 5 in raw mode:\ :lp=:\ :rm=laserjet5:\ :rp=raw:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote/lj5_raw:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: The important lines are those with rm and rp. rm especifies the IP address (or name if DNS is configured right) of the JetDirect box. Instead of laserjet5 (which really refers to laserjet5.ven.ra.rockwell.com) you could have used rm=130.151.17.154. rp especifies what printer queue you want to use. For a H-P JetDirect that can be raw or text depending on if you want CR-LF conversion or not. 3) When you browse the shares of the Samba server you'll see the same printers in /etc/printcap. In our example you'll see 2 printers: lj5_text and lj5. Installing a printer in Windows is a piece of cake: just Add Printer, select Network Printer and browse the network until you find the Samba server and the printers shared inside it. Windows machines will send print jobs to the Samba print server. The, the Samba print server will spool the job using the lpr Unix command and the lpd daemon will send the job to the JetDirect box, which will send it finally to the printer. That should be all, and this really works well. Do not hesitate to ask if you need more information. peloy.- -- Eloy A.
