Any guess how passwd got 600'd ? Part > of the rpm -i --force ? Nah not good just had faced the same problem earlier myself and was able to find the solution nothing else. When you pointed samba to use the /etc/passwd file then it changed the file permissions. Last time I was also messing around with samba when this exact thing happened to me also. But then I do not know exactly why this happens did not have the time to diagnose it if you can find out why this happens do tell me also I would like to know. -- Arindam Dey The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
