But it would provide an ideal working starting point. I can see that by default "passdb backend = tdbsam", so I'll try this change anywayĬan you share your smb.conf? Feel free to edit it for privacy. When you say you use smbpasswd as the pass backend aren't you just using the default? Does it work for the default system account? If so, what do you use as your "security" entry in smb.conf?
As long as:ġ.-The users from smbpasswd exist in the system (can't create ad-hoc smbpasswd users not already in Lion)Ģ.-The default user (the default admin) won't ever work (this is the one that has group problems). By leaving the default "security = share" I can store usernames and passwords with smbpasswd and it can authenticate. I should've clarified I can run authenticated to a degree.
Newer versions either don't compile or crash on startup.ġ.-Have you been able to run MacPorts Samba version (3.2.15) in authentication mode? (guest mode works OK) If so, how did you manage to do so?Ģ.-Have you been able to compile/run a newer version of Samba in Lion where authentication (not only guest access) works? If so, how did you do it, did you modify MacPorts or Homebrew for it? This version has some issues with user group resolution so I've been trying to get a newer version to work, but I haven't had any luck.
#Smbup server details install
I made it mainly because a bunch of friends of mine have mediacenters or old devices that can only communicate through SMB1 and Lion's SMB implementation doesn't work for them.įor this I have made an installer for Samba and its dependencies (my program allows the user to download and install it) but it's from the latest version supported by MacPorts (which is 3.2.15), a somewhat old one. I have made a tool (called SMBUp) that is supposed to be a front-end for Samba for Lion.
