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.
