[CentOS] Problem with Samba on CentOS 5.3

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

Thanks for your reply. The output of the testparm command is shown below:


Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[roinventory]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
        passdb backend = tdbsam 

The smbpasswd command is available for backwards compatibility. At the risk of
coming across
as a complete idiot, how does that tie in to this situation?
