SAMBA was installed on a SCO 5.0.6 several years ago. Logins were validated
by an NT server (DOMAIN) at the time. In March, the NT 4 server was
replaced with a Windows 2003 server and the SAMBA sercurity was changed to
SERVER. Most of the users are not listed in the smbpasswd file and
security is set to use the Samba user.
Since then, most users can attach to the shares without any problems.
I have one user who IS in the smbpasswd file but cannot attach to any of
the shares. This user uses a Windows XPpro PC. Every time they try to
connect, they get a Samba login box, the window's password is entered but
the connection is refused and an entry in the /var/adm/syslog file like
below is logged:
Nov 17 12:38:43 lsisysv smbd[16491]: [2005/11/17 12:38:43, 0]
smbd/password.c:server_cryptkey(1054)
Nov 17 12:38:43 lsisysv smbd[16491]: password server not available
I tried several times to reset the SAMBA Password using SWAT to no avail!
This users needs special rights to some the shares - that is the reason for
the security.
###
the smb.conf file is below:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = LANDSCAPESUPPLY
security = SERVER
encrypt passwords = Yes
min passwd length = 0
map to guest = Bad User
null passwords = Yes
password server = %m
os level = 0
preferred master = False
local master = No
domain master = False
guest account = samba
create mask = 0666
directory mask = 0777
[apps]
path = /apps/bin
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[public]
path = /home/public
force user = samba
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[tmp]
path = /tmp
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[home]
path = %H
read only = No
[siqoutput]
path = /home/output
