smbpasswd

[Plante, Sylvain]

Jean-Yves,

I'm almost there !

I resolve the previous problems with your help.

Now, at the moment I'm trying to reach the drive
identified in the smb.conf file, I'm getting that
error message:

	\\server is not accessible
	The network path was not found

The line for the disk looks like that in the smb.conf
file :

	[test]
		comment = Test
		path = dka0/samba
		writeable = yes
		public = yes

Consider that I'm trying to reach :

	Server$dka0:[samba]


Thanks for your help !

Sylvain P.

The reason why smbpasswd with -j and -r option does not work is probably
because it's executed from a user which is not considered as "root" by
Samba/VMS.

Presently, the user is considered as "root" only if his UIC is either [1,4]
or [1,1]. I kept this feature from an older Samba/VMS port. However, I don't
like it too much.
Here is a couple of propositions about that. Could you tell me which one
looks good for you (you can make other ones, too...) ?

1. the user is root if his UIC group is within the SYSGEN parameter
MAXSYSGROUP
2. if it has some identifier (like SAMBA_ROOT)
3. If his USERNAME is SYSTEM
