 |
|
Samba was working fine 'till I tried to create one more share a week ago.
I set up the new share using SWAT. After pressing "commit changes", SWAT logged out and an Authentication Box appeared on my screen, but I wasn't able to authenticate using any of my previous working users. I thougt it was SWAT and so activated the option in my /etc/xinetd.d/swat. (This means, that SWAT doesn't need any authentication to log in)
When now checking all my options in SWAT, nothing seemed to have changed. - OK let's go one step down.
My first idea was just to give my users new passwords:
| Code: | # smbpasswd -a samba
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
NULL guest account!?!?
Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user samba. Does this user exist in the UNIX password database ?
Failed to modify password entry for user samba |
I reviewed my /etc/passwd, nothing seemed to be wrong:
| Code: | ...
samba:x:1001:100::/home/samba:/bin/bash
... |
When doing smbpasswd for user root, it's the same:
| Code: | # smbpasswd -a root
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
NULL guest account!?!?
NULL guest account!?!?
Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user root. Does this user exist in the UNIX password database ?

Do you have any idea what I could have done wrong?
