Fixing this now by wrapping calls to getpass() in a sys_getpass() function used by Samba. On solaris, we will use getpassphrase() instead. Testing code now. Will send a patch to the list in about an hour. cheers, jerry - Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org --http://www.plainjoe.org Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours 2ed.

Hmmon my solaris boxes (both with Sun's workshop C compiler and GCC), REPLACE_GETPASS is being defined, so there is not a problem. Can you check in include/config.h and see if this is defined? If not, I need to figure out why not What Solaris release is this? and what compiler? Also include any ./configure options you have set. cheers, jerry - Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org --http://www.plainjoe.org Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours 2ed.

I'm looking to upgrade from some 2.0.x versions I'm running. I've createed a password entry using smbpasswd -a and added my password. My password has 9 characters in it. Using smbclient on the Solaris box, I can access the share, but I can't from Win95 or Win2000 clients (encryption is on). If I try to access using only the first 8 characters from my password (without changing the password on the server) it works on all three platforms. Probably Solaris' getpass() routine or something we use. I'll add it to my list of stuff to look at when I can. ... Have you found any solution to problem above? I have the same problem. We change our smb-passwords in solaris 8 / samba 2.2.4 machine and now when users authenticate themselves to our domain it accepts only first 8 characters of the password. It happens also in authentication server where we have solaris 2.6 and samba 2.0.5a... only that we allways change our domain passwords in solaris 8/samba 2.2.4 machine. So I thing there is something wrong with changeing passwords with smbpasswd command??? -- - :=) Terja Antola, Univercity of Turku Puhelin: 02 333 6516, Telefax: 02 333 6040 Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
