Samba users and groups

[Neil Waldhauer]

I'm using SAMBA server 3.3, and I have a problem with users and groups.

Using SAMBA users and groups, I cannot add a user. The dialog is filled out, but when I click OK, the error is

Line 68 of PB_AddUserOK_Click in smbusers.VRM

password.nx - Crypt(VRGet('EF_passowrd', 'Value'), salt);

I look for a program named Crypt, but nothing is found.

This is also reported in trac: http://trac.netlabs.org/samba/ticket/264#ticket
The bug has been assigned to Herwig Bauernfeind

You should try:

After installing Samba 1.2.wpi server install updates:

1) updated to samba-3.5.21-1.2.0-20130911.zip
2) ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/server/guitools/smbmon-25RC8-20150113-test.zip

You recommend backing off from the more recently released 3.3 to the older 3.5? Why?

3.5 isn't old it's dated pretty much the same as 3.3 by a month or 2 and well it works

 samba-3.5.21 => 20130911.zip

And here's a couple of more questions

Samba is a horrible mess. It seems that the latest isn't, and some of them don't work properly.

I did a "mix and match", which seems to work as well as anything else that I tried (and, I tried a lot of combinations). From EVFSGUI-> Help-> About:

The server, that I use, is: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/server/samba-1-1-4-804.wpi

From my experience, most of the problems exist in EVFSGUI. The server seems to work okay (within the limits of the OS/2 version), but EVFSGUI has a LOT of trouble with anything except a very simple SAMBA server.

Herwig Bauernfeind let me know that Crypt is a part of RXCRYPT.DLL, which was not on my libpath.

I had installed the rxlib4smb.wpi from the SAMBA website, but somehow I was missing RXCRYPT.DLL. I installed it again, and Users and Groups now works as expected.
