I'm trying to configure samba to share files,
my smb.conf is:

[global]
netbios name = pcname
workgroup = domainname
os level = 8
security = user
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes


[tmp]
path = /tmp

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
valid users = %S
create mode = 0664
directory mode = 0775


I have done
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd

smbpasswd -a myusername

and I get

New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
fetch_ldap_pw: neither ldap secret retrieved!
ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password from secrets.tdb
Connection to LDAP Server failed for the 1 try!
smbldap_search_suffix: Problem during the LDAP search: (unknown) (Invalid

fetch_ldap_pw: neither ldap secret retrieved!
ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password from secrets.tdb

ldapsam_search_one_group: Problem during the LDAP search: LDAP error:

Connection to LDAP Server failed for the 1 try!
smbldap_search_suffix: Problem during the LDAP search: (unknown) (Invalid

Failed to add entry for user myusername.
Failed to modify password entry for user myusername


I don't understand why it's trying to connect to LDAP. I just want to get
authentication by typing username and passwd when connecting.

Samba is 3.0.01, distro RH 9.0.

Thanks for your help.

Check the file /etc/pam.d/samba and make sure it doesn't specify an ldap target..

You may have problems with the smbpasswd file too..
I don't know what the script you have used does, but if it uses the M$ username and logon password from the M$ clients, they can connect after logging on, without having to re-enter their details..

It doesn't specify,

this is content:
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth

I also tryed to comment all thos things but with the same result.

Did you build this version of samba from sources?

It's the only other way I know to force ldap..
