No. Samba 4 no longer supports linux user accounts, and until now no real solution has been created.

 

It's on the todo list, but if I understand the samba team correctly, they are not going to re-introduce this feature.

 

Ok and whu not just create samba user, with "smbpasswd -a usernane", like in open pli 4.0 ?

That is a possible alternative, but I think that requires additional packages to be build. Not really my area of expertise, so some has to dive into that.

 

Problem is a bit that our develop environment has already had an OE update in preparation of OpenPLi 7, which is no longer compatible with what 6.x is using. This makes development and testing a bit harder.

I have similar issues, 

I removed samba with opkg move /etc/samba -. /etc/samba.sav and /var/lib/samba -> /var/iib/samba.sav

 

Did a opkg install samba.

Coupe of issues, no /etc/samba/smb.conf file was installed

No directory /var/lib/samba/private/msg.sock was created ( error from smbs: mkdir failed on directory /var/lib/samba/private/msg.sock: No such file or directory)

 

​Added a smb.conf file as mentioned in a few posts above.

Added:

log file = /tmp/smb.log

log level = 2 auth:10 passdb:4 auth_audit:5

  No such user root [VUDUO2] - using guest account

 

So smbd still uses local passwd file and not just unix passwd file.

 

Do we need smbpasswd to get the root user in the local smb passwd file?
