[ILUG] samba user change

[ILUG] samba user change

McAuley, Tim T.McAuley at emuse.ie

Oh... OH.. .AHHHHH <slap> idiot!

I just saw your email and went "yes... something to get this working",
I did a locate for smb... and guess what I saw:

/etc/smbusers
/etc/samba/smbusers

I only changed /etc/samba/smbusers... I forgot that we upgraded this machine
from RH 6.2 -> 7...

changed /etc/smbusers, and all is well.

<sigh> I guess it's Friday.

Thanks Stephen anyway!
