- BUGS and other unwanted features
- ================================
-
-
- Saving
- ======
-
- Problem:
- When saving a directory to a domain which does not have a /samba subdirectory,
- changing the name in the Save panel will cause the panel to refuse saving.
- (I.e. you can't click ok).
-
- Workaround:
- You can accept the default name and click ok. This will create the /samba
- subdirectory. Then use `Save To Domain' to save to a different name. Reopen
- the old entry and delete it.
-
- Problem:
- If you change the name when saving to a domain which does not have the /samba
- subdirectory, you will not be able to save anything to that domain anymore.
-
- Workaround:
- You must quit SambaManager and relaunch it.
-
- Problem:
- I've made several changes to the configuration, but when I connect to
- the server, none of the changes seem to apply.
-
- Workaround:
- This is because the NetInfo in not consulted each time you connect, but
- only when the daemon starts (and after some specifed perions [approx. 1h]).
- Disabling and then Enabling the daemons via the Daemon Startup should fix
- the problem.
-
- Passwords
- =========
-
- Problem:
- When I type 'smbpasswd' I only get:
- smbpasswd: Command not found.
-
- Workaround:
- The installation tries to copy the smbpasswd program to either
- /usr/local/bin or /users/local/bin.
- If one of these is not on your PATH, then you can't just execute it.
- You can either copy or (soft)link smbpasswd to a directory which is on
- your path.
-
- For example, if /users/local/bin is on your path and you have installed
- SambaManger in /LocalAdmin, then
- ln -s /LocalAdmin/SambaManager.app/smbpasswd /users/local/bin/smbpasswd
- will do the trick.
- Note that if you want all your users to set both the unix and Samba password
- together, you can also do:
- ln -s /LocalAdmin/SambaManager.app/smbpasswd /users/local/bin/passwd
- and then make sure that /users/local/bin is searched before /usr/bin. In this
- case you must make sure that each new user has the appropriate NetInfo
- extensions after adding the user. (You could use the 'before_creating_user'
- in UserManager to add the properties with niutil when adding a user on the
- NetInfo master.)
-
-
- Remote Password
- ===============
-
- Problem:
- Cannot change the password with the remote password command (from Windows).
- This is correct. The current Samba tools do not have this option compiled
- in. (It would require several changes, which are better made in the current
- release.)
-
- Workaround:
- None. You must change the passwords on the unix host.
- (As an option, you could set .../SambaManger.app/smbpasswd as the shell
- and let the users telnet to the unix host for this purpose. Note that
- you may have to enter .../SambaManger.app/smbpasswd to /etc/shells for
- this to work.)
