Hi, |

|

I'm trying to setup a samba server on my gentoo system to share a few different |
| 4 |
directories. I want user authentication, so I can say user A has access to dir |
| 5 |
nr.1, user B to dir nr.1 and nr.2 etc. and appropriately set permissions on the |
| 6 |
gentoo server. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I started by using the default samba config (smb.conf) shipped with the gentoo |
| 9 |
ebuild. In [global] I set |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
security = user |
| 12 |
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
and in the shares I set |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
public = no |
| 17 |
writeable = yes |
| 18 |
browseable = yes |
| 19 |
printable = no |
| 20 |
valid users = david |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
When I try to create a smb user with smbpasswd -a it tells me |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
# smbpasswd -a david |
| 25 |
New SMB password: |
| 26 |
Retype new SMB password: |
| 27 |
Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user david. |
| 28 |
Failed to modify password entry for user david |
| 29 |
|

Can anyone guide me to a correct setup. My research on google and groups.google |
| 31 |
didn't help me much. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Thanks in advance for any hints. |
