Hi all,
I'm fighting with samba on a new CentOS 5.1 install.
The goal here is to have unix/linux usernames/passwords used for the
samba shares (which i'll setup using webmin, as I find it easy that
way). At present, the home share and one for the company's public
share are in place.
# useradd ..... someuser
# passwd someuser
new: ....
again: ...
# smbpasswd -a someuser
new: ....
again: ....
the smbpasswd step is neccessary, because SMB/CIFS protocol uses a
different hash than /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow, so samba keeps its own
smbpasswd file.
Thanks, John
With the help of the fairly slick new webmin (this is a wholly offline
network, so no security issues here), I was able to synchronize the unix
users db with the smbpasswd db so that part's handled.
I managed to mangle my way though the very thorough, if ponderously
long, how-to for configuring a stand-alone server and I think I'm well
on my way :)
Next step is making sure sendmail/dovecot is configured for our little
network. If nothing else, i'm sure learning a lot today!
Kind regards,
-Ray
