Samba 2.0.7 and AIX 4.3

[InduPramod]

Hi,

I have installed Samba 2.0.7 on AIX 4.3. I am running Windows XP on my PC. I am trying to share a directory /xyx from AIX to a user x in windows. But the X user in windows = y user in UNIX (I need to map the windows and Unix user ids). I don't want samba server to put into PDC of the windows.

But when I try to logon it doesn't accept the password. Can any one help me pls.

try
at the share in smb.conf
security = +users

restart samba then type

smbpasswd -a YUser
smbpasswd -e YUser

hi,
- suppose your AIX is not in WinDomain, and you have
a Window user with username "uW1" with password "pW1"

- in AIX you need to have a user in /etc/passwd named "uA1"
and AIX password "pA1"

- ensure exists in smb.conf the line
username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/user.map
and write in
uA1 = uW1, mikie, frank

enter

smbpasswd -a uA1
(smbpasswd in this case is a command, /usr/local/bin )

(this create an entry in /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
file with the Windows password encrypted)

and your Admin task are finish

- if the AIX box is not joined in WinDomain, every time windows user changes password in its domain, he has to login at AIX box with "uA1" giving "pA1" and enter command

smbpasswd

entering here new Windows password
(this new password is encripted-written in smbpasswd file)

bye
