 |
|
I've been messing around with Samba for about a week trying to find a way to auth users via /etc/passwd, was unable to find one until this morning when I found a website that mentioned using pdbedit to import backend types.
Just for the hell of it I entered:
| Code: |
pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/etc/passwd -e smbpasswd
|
It spit out a seemingly harmless error (indicating it couldn't parse the file) and went back to bash.
I tried to login as my user browns(uid=1000), I now see this on the command prompt:
| Code: |
I have no name!@Samba ~ $
|
I see this for all my users except root, even ones i've created, recereated!
So I looked in my /etc/passwd and it looks fine!
/etc/passwd
| Code: |
browns:x:1000:100::/home/browns:/bin/bash
|
I have a shadow entry:
/etc/shadow
| Code: |
browns:<random stuff>:13200:0:99999:7:::
|
I can login, I can sudo but when in KDE and I open I root console I see this error:
| Code: |
cannot find user w/ uid 1000
Password:
|
any ideas?[/code]

Finally ended up getting this problem solved. Seems the permissions on the /etc/passwd file were somehow changed. Change em back to where they should be and all is well.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.3K Mar 17 21:00 /etc/passwd |
