Re: samba

Hi, 

  I did a grep usera /etc/samba/smbpasswd and the usera
  is in this file.  However, this smbpasswd file has the
  0700 permission, is this the problem?

  The usera also try to change the samba password using
   smbpasswd and here is the error message:


------------
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by
peer.
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session setup. Error was : code 0.
Failed to change password for usera
------------

  Thanks!
