Hello all,
I have a strange probleme with two 8.04 server installations running samba as sole domain controller for a few Windows machines.
Some of the users have different passwords for their unix accounts on the same machine as the samba accounts. But since we upgraded to 8.04 (from 7.04), their samba passwords keep changing back to their unix passwords, i.e. after a day or so, they cannot login anymore unsing the new password, they have to enter the unix one. If they change it back via smbpasswd, it works for the day or so, but the next day they have to use the old password again.
Does anybody have any idea samba behaves this bezarrely? The global section of the smb.conf file (which hasn't changed since way before the update to 8.04) looks like this:
[global]
workgroup = <MY_LOCAL_DOMAIN>
netbios name = <MY_NETBIOS_NAME>
debug level = 1 passdb:1 auth:1
encrypt passwords = true
preserve case = yes
os level = 65
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
passdb backend = smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd
security = user
printing = cups
load printers = yes
printcap name = cups
domain master = yes
unix charset = utf-8
display charset = utf-8
domain logons = yes
preferred master = yes
max log size = 100000
kernel oplocks = no
wins support = yes
dns proxy = yes
time server = yes
hosts allow = <MY_LOCAL_NETWORKS>
remote announce = <MY_LOCAL_NETWORKS>
logon home = \\double\home\.config\%m
logon path = \\double\home\.config\%m
auto services = netlogon
logon script = %U.bat
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_THROUGHPUT SO_RCVBUF=4096 SO_SNDBUF=4096
interfaces = <MY_LOCAL_INTERFACES>
server string = <MY_SERVER_NAME>
All our Windows machines store profiles locally and are configured not to use server-stores profiles. Additionally, we don't have any logon scripts anymore; these are remants of an earlier configuration which could be removed. I just included them for accuracy, perhaps they are the culprits for the odd behaviour.
Any help is appreciated.
Greetings, the kaz.
