No idea.

I think we should concentrate on just adding the users to Ubuntu. You can add a user (with defaults) like this and follow the prompts (use the same user/pass as in windows)

Code:

sudo adduser <user>

OK, tht's easy.

Code:

asjmm@asjmm-saviour:~$ sudo adduser james
[sudo] password for asjmm: 
Adding user `james' ...
Adding new group `james' (1001) ...
Adding new user `james' (1001) with group `james' ...
Creating home directory `/home/james' ...
Copying files from `/etc/skel' ...
Enter new UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: password updated successfully
Changing the user information for james
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
	Full Name []: James
	Room Number []: 
	Work Phone []: 
	Home Phone []: 
	Other []: 
Is the information correct? [Y/n] y
asjmm@asjmm-saviour:~$

I'll do the rest later.

Just go back and use the command to list the Ubuntu users. Then try the command to list the Samba users. You should see all 3 users in both databases.

I have to pop out myself. I will be back in 4 hours (you will be asleep). Post what you have done so I can see it.

OK, have a good one.

This works for finding mortal users (real peoples accounts). Unfortunately some of the /home entries are system users to allow processes to own their own files. See the entry for syslog above. It looks like the mail program you are using created the system user Debian-exim.

I assume that the mortal users in your network are:
james
antonia
alice
boss
asjmm

I assume that the strife is Sharon.

The Ubuntu (mortal) users look good. The use of awk to strip the user names from the return is good. You could have used a conditional if to remove the users that had a /home but did not have a /bin/bash shell. See if you can figure that out. You are progressing.

The Samba data should be from the command pdbedit -L. This will have the Samba users after you add them using

Code:

smbpasswd -a

Remember to use the same password that is use in the login/pass combo when prompted. Then the user (on either Ubuntu or Windows) and the Samba user login/pass will be the same. I use the same login/pass on all my machines (including the Wireless AP and router admin).

One last thing -- all caps is a WINDOWS thing. Linux folks are lazy -- all lowercase, no spaces and names no longer than need be. Most of my hostnames are 5 characters and the user names are 3 to 5 characters. Its all style, but CAPS SHOUT OUT.

To summarize - We have the Ubuntu users, now we need those users to also be Samba users and for you to list them here.

**9000cse** · July 1st, 2011

All I get here is this.

Code:

asjmm@asjmm-saviour:~$ pdbedit -L
tdbsam_open: Failed to open/create TDB passwd [/var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb]
tdbsam_getsampwnam: failed to open /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb!
User Search failed!

Code:

asjmm@asjmm-saviour:~$ smbpasswd -a
When run by root:
    smbpasswd [options] [username]
otherwise:
    smbpasswd [options]

options:
  -L                   local mode (must be first option)
  -h                   print this usage message
  -s                   use stdin for password prompt
  -c smb.conf file     Use the given path to the smb.conf file
  -D LEVEL             debug level
  -r MACHINE           remote machine
  -U USER              remote username
extra options when run by root or in local mode:
  -a                   add user
  -d                   disable user
  -e                   enable user
  -i                   interdomain trust account
  -m                   machine trust account
  -n                   set no password
  -W                   use stdin ldap admin password
  -w PASSWORD          ldap admin password
  -x                   delete user
  -R ORDER             name resolve order
asjmm@asjmm-saviour:~$

Something maybe has not started?

**redmk2** · July 1st, 2011

Sorry about that. I figured you would remember tho use sudo.

Pdbedit you always needs sudo to run. So the correct incantation to see a listing of Samba user iss

Code:

sudo pdbedit -l

To add a user you should also use sudo and you need to declare the user name. So the correct incantation is

Code:

sudo smbpasswd -a <user>

Use the same user/pass that you used when adding them to Ubuntu

I did remember, but forgot to. Thanks.
Any,

Code:

asjmm@asjmm-saviour:~$ sudo pdbedit -L
Debian-exim:113:
asjmm@asjmm-saviour:~$

&

Code:

asjmm@asjmm-saviour:~$ sudo pdbedit -L
james:1001:James
alice:1003:Alice
Debian-exim:113:
antonia:1002:Antonia
boss:1004:Sharon
asjmm@asjmm-saviour:~$

Hows that?

It appears that you have not put your name in the smbpasswd database. Add your asjmm account. That is your account; right?

I'm curious: Why did you add the Debian-exim account (a system account) to this Samba suer database? What password did you use?

To remove the Debian-exim entry you came do this

Code:

sudo smbpasswd -x Debian-exim

Post the updated info

Code:

sudo pdbedit -L

**9000cse** · July 1st, 2011

Yep saw that, ...Woops.

I have to pop out to see my VET. get my X-Ray results. Will be back in around 30mins.

Have not heard back form you since Friday, everything OK?

I seem to have been abandoned
