| I need to know this because, soon I am going to be promoted as a network administrator in my company, after I finish all the tests, which are very near. And I feel some kind of euphoria, you know, but also little fear, because I am so new to this. Bigger payment, yes. But responsibilities also. Help! |

| Well, congratulations on your future promotion. First of all, you need to know that Samba uses two ways to encrypt (secure & store) user passwords. That's what you want to know, right? Through the NT hash or through character conversion. Character conversion is more complicated way to explain. You must define password and username "level". You'll have to find that in samba.conf file and change the desired lines manually. Note that after arrival of Microsoft NT technology, support for plain-text passwords has extensively dropped down through Samba. The following lines should be your next playground "/etc/samba/private/smbpasswd", without the quotes. |
