[Samba] Re: higher ascii characaters in smbusers, success!
Hi, Am Tue, 14 Oct 2003 09:19:26 -0400 hat Erik Soderquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] geschrieben: Space is up front, first character, and I'm not permitted to change it :( Too bad. Did you check the bugs section in the man page for your version of smbmount, if this limitation still applies? Maybe you can pass the password in the environment variable as suggested. These are my current versions. I don't know how to check the version of smbfs, but though it was part of the samba package. Yes, you're right. My bad. In this context samba always seems to mean client and server. I had remembered otherwise, maybe incorrectly maybe efforts have been joined since. # uname -a Linux mcitylinux 2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP Thu Mar 13 17:45:54 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # smbd -V Version 2.2.7a [snip] Regards, Torge -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] higher ascii characaters in smbusers, success!
Hi list, Update: originally i wanted to post a question, but in writing i thought of things that finally led me to the solution. This i wanted to share with the community in case it can help. Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I had no luck searching for it. I have a working Samba 2.2.5 installation on SuSE8.1. I have two users on a windows client called Torge (that's me) and Gaediaresis;lle (interpreted as HTML special character) You could also write Ga\elle (TeX convention), but fact is: there is a higher ascii character in the name, that i prefer not to get rid of. I have users for the same two persons on the server called: toh and: gab my smbusers file reads something like this: toh = torge gab = gaelle ga?lle I (toh=torge) can log on impeccably to the server, while my partner (gab=gaelle) is blocked. The log says: [2003/09/29 11:57:18, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545) Couldn't find user 'ga211lle' in passdb. Where the 211 is written in reverse graphics. Now my question is: what should i put in the place of the question mark in my smbusers file? Thanks in advance, Torge P.S.: Answer: with some cat'ing and 'ing i managed to put the exact character from the log into the smbusers and it worked. Note though that just less'ing and copying into vi with the mouse would not work. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
