Works!

[Kirk A Wolff]

Thanks for all of the hard work!  I will reap all of the benefits with much
joy!) j/k

Like I said earlier, I am using this for my home network with connectivity
via Amateur Radio (http://n0tia-uhf.ampr.org).  Now I can serve file space
and internet access to the windows workstations roommates and neighbors!

I have one suggestion though:  In your FAQ at
http://www.kneschke.de/projekte/samba_tng/faq/configuration.php3, tell
people to give the server a trust account also!  That way they won't miss
that little statement in the samba/source/README!  I think that was why I
couldn't get it to work all along (for the past week).

I have a real bug to report though:  When ever I run any of the Samba
utilities that access the smb.conf (most all of them (but not the daemon
programs)) I get the following type of listing:

-------------------------
[kirk at ip-fwd kirk]$ smbpasswd
params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file:
params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file:

Old SMB password:
-------------------------
My smb.conf is attached in case there is something wrong with it (I don't
think there could be much since I only modified 3 or 4 lines from the file I
downloaded from the FAQ page)

I guess I could look at params.c and find where that error is coming from,
but I know you would enjoy fixing it much more than I (hehe).

TTYL (TTFN is for ferries!)

the source directory, and reading the ENCRYPTION.txt file, the most
perculear things happens:  I am able to log into my Samba PDC with a
properly added Samba user.  I do not know what kind of work that needs to be
done to correct this problem, but I hope you all get to work on it right
away!  I cannot permit my server to operate properly any longer.
