I've actually not configured samba on Linux in a long time. Some things have changed it seems I'll just have to catch up on the docs.

And - please - don't show this contents (at least the unchanged contents); it's very simple to restore the original password from this contents. Additional (related to Volkers answer): what tells testparm -sv 2>/dev/null | grep backend Viele Gruesse!

I really need to get this working. You might be running with "passdb backend = tdbsam" (the default right now). In that case, the smbpasswd file is no longer used. It's replaced by a file called passdb.tdb.

[Samba] smbpasswd not working
When I used smbpasswd it gives me the following error... root@hayek:~# smbpasswd john New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to find entry for user john. This is despite the existence of the user root@hayek:~# cat /etc/samba/smbpasswd # # SMB password file. # nobody:65534:::[U ]:LCT-:nobody john:1000:::[U ]:LCT-:John Tate,,, I do not understand what is going on. I really need to get this working. John Tate -- www.johntate.org -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
