Bonjour Jean:
"I'lls y a un possion dans la poubelle!" yes i know very silly. We used to
get anouncements like that in highschool. (all the time) I went to french
imersion for many many years and am fluent in the launguage however i could
not write it to save my life. Cultre aside, I need a hand with the latest
CVS,
I'd like to thank you for your time as i am sure you don't have much of it
(much like the rest of us.) I have a couple questions. I've been having
trouble adding users to the newest version apperantly no capitol letters in
the logon name, it's quite odd. Also shoul there be any entries in
user.map? (cause mine is empty) and could that very well be my problem
(lack of usernames in /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map?) and if so what is the
syntax involved? here is a good example.
now i've renamed passwd cmd to passwd.old and symlinked passwd to smbpasswd.
OK?<-yes i am weird one of the many W2K workarounds sent to me was to do
exactly that.

Very ODD indeed this hole seems to get deeper and deeper now the only
diffrence is the group (users and admin and the mixed spelling!) So lets
chekc the group firs i deleted Bridget completely then i did the following.
Exactly how deep is the rabbit hole !!! :):) red pill red pill he he he.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
[root at XPDC bin]# adduser -g users -c 'test' -d /dev/null -s
/bin/false -nTestTestTest
[root at XPDC bin]# smbpasswd -a TestTestTest
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Added user TestTestTest.
[root at XPDC bin]# smbclient -L XPDC -UTestTestTest%TestTestTest
added interface ip=206.191.23.37 bcast=206.191.23.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
[root at XPDC bin]#
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
So lets check small character mangled cases
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
[root at XPDC bin]# adduser -g users -c 'test' -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -n
Test
[root at XPDC bin]# passwd Test
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Password changed for user Test.
[root at XPDC bin]# smbpasswd -a Test
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password: <-Hey wheres the "added user Test???"
[root at XPDC bin]#( Should be here eh! ???????????????????????)
*/ Well Just to be Sure well try it diffrently /*
OKOKOK
wait wait
ok
you can and should only do the said facet of adding users ie:
adduser
smbpasswd
nothing in between!!
finally it worked. but i had to copy smbpasswd to bin (does that really
accomplish anything?)
and the username can only have a user entry no passwd for the nix side of
things.
Hope this enlightens anyone with my problems and the Bug.
