Hi there -- Thanks for your reply. The output from 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 Evidently this version of samba is not using smbpasswd backend. If that is the case what would be the correct command syntax to use here? -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Eero Volotinen Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 11:54 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Problem with Samba on CentOS 5.3 Kaplan, Andrew H. wrote: > Hi there -- > > I am having an issue with the Samba package, release 3.033375, that came > bundled with the > CentOS 5.3 distribution.

Is that version still using the old smbpasswd backend?
