Subject: [GRLUG] Samba passwds
Message-ID: <Pine.BSO.4.53.1601081622240.11255@Mail.omnitec.net>

Have a server box where I would like to give a local admin a way to manage
users & passwords. Have a good tool to manage *system* users, but the
question is then how to update Samba passwords?

Samba has unix password sync, of course, but that only works Samba ->
System; would like to do it the other way.

Any suggestions?

	Thanks!

I have used webmin for samba admin.

You can set up a user in webmin with samba access only.

Haven't used samba / swat in a while so cannot say if that would be 
helpful or not.

Swat is effectively dead from the Samba project’s perspective, so I’d really not recommend using it considering how it has broken more than a few SMB configurations from what I’ve seen.

If your machines are set up correctly, syncing password changes from the host to the ADDS server (whether a MS one or one running SMBd) should just work if using the newer ADS protocols, since it uses Kerberos for password half of the authentication.

If you're granting your local admin shell access, you could (via 'sudo'
command) grant him access to the 'smbpasswd' and 'pdbedit' commands, which
is how Samba manipulates users (passwords, policies, etc).  That's what I
do (with Samba 3.x) - still - running as a PDC to Windows PCs.

With Samba 4, manipulation from an actual Windows box is touted, but I
haven't played with it in a year.

FYI, .. in case anyone runs into the same problem, to use the 'STANDALONE'
Lets Encrypt plugin, one has to shut OFF Apache for a few minutes so it
can verify that the hostname/IP does, indeed, resolve to the physical
machine where you are running Let's Encrypt.

Otherwise you can instruct letsencrypt to use the existing web server to
verify it instead of spinning up it's own temporary webserver.  It will
work if your webserver is already running SSL even with a self-signed
certificate; but it will need write access to your webroot.

For example,
./letsencrypt-auto certonly --webwroot -w /var/www -d <domainname>

It ends up making a .well-known directory to drop a small file, and drops
your certificates in /etc/letsencrypt/live/<domainname>/ .

What are the issues?  Do they fail to 'just-work'?

Almost all laser printers are either PCL or Postscript.

Why does the toner matter?

For some reason I'm not seeing the original message, only Adam's reply,
however, I have a Samsung CLP-315 and it "just worked" without
configuration on Ubuntu. I have since stopped using it, since it printed
too dark though.

It is probably just a problem with the printers.When you hit print test page to often then it must be the toner!

Does the printer let you print out a configuration or diagnostics page
from the device’s configuration panel? Can you pick up the toner
cartridge and, when shifting it around, hear any toner inside of it?
If it doesn’t sound like the toner cartridge has anything, or it feels
light, or asking the printer to print information about itself results
in sheets of white paper, then you either need new toner or there is a
different physical issue with the printer.

Are you trying to indirectly tell us that pressing “Print” from Ubuntu
Mate causes the printer to spool paper but just not actually print
anything onto it? Please give us a clearer picture of what
works/doesn’t so we can give you better suggestions ;-).

The local cable company [Charter here in St.Louis] told us they would give
us a monthly discount if we swapped out our Docsis 3.0 Motorola modem for
a new one. Looks like the new Cisco unit will bond 16 channels together
for a lot higher bandwidth. OK, .. sounds good to me.

The new Cisco provisions just fine and works with a laptop, but when I
connect it to my firewall box it does not route traffic. DHCP does not
actually assign a gateway, so I plugged in the GW that the modem gives my
laptop. No joy, .. so I switched to static IP & GW [same as the laptop],
no joy. Cloned the MAC address from my laptop to the linux firewall box,
.. no joy. The old Motorola unit worked just fine via DHCP.

Something has changed with this new Cisco unit - the "Link" light flashes
green with my laptop, but YELLOW with the firewall box.

Has anyone run into a situation like this?

        Thanks!

        Lee

Just sounds like (a) your modem is incorrectly configured or (b) not
authenticating to the cable provider's network [which might be case of
"incorrectly configured"].   Cable modems are not plug-n-go.

Some guesses:  the modem is refusing to give out a second DHCP and
something didn't work when you cloned the MAC.  Reboot the modem leaving it
powered off for at least 30 seconds when moving the cable from machine to
machine.

The modem utilizes something like PPPoE (rare on cable systems)

Your machine is trying to pull something IPV6 related and the modem doesn't
like that.  Snoop the connection between the router and modem with a dumb
hub and wireshark.  Look for any differences between laptop and router.

Have you ruled out bad auto-negotiation between the firewall and new modem?

So I forgot/lost the password to my desktop (or it's just not accepting it,
not sure).  Posted such on Facebook, friends came to rescue to tell me to
boot into recovery mode, then go to root and then type passwd username and
then enter new password.

Well, I did that, and no avail.  Attached image of screen is what I got.
Messaged a friend in Atlanta who offered help, he said to type mount -rw -o
remount /. Which brought up lots of words, no way to read them all....and
then he said that it looks like root is read-only....

And he said if I have local people who can come type and fix, that would be
great.  It's a desktop, so I can't just bring it to makers (well, I
could....but I'd be heavy.)

Is anyone able to come over (I'm in eastown) at some point to figure it
out?  I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 on that computer.

The command is passwd and you need to type your username after, not the
word username.

I looks like you might have gotten in okay. Boot recovery mode again and mount the volume r/w. You should try resetting the root password (passwd without a username). Reboot and login with root instead of your user account. If you get that far, root can the reset your user password.

The sad/frustrating thing is i have no idea how to do that.  i figured out
single user mode, i got that far.

dave, if you're able to come out this way, that'd be great.

Do you remember the root password?

If so, reboot the computer
At the boot prompt select teh recovery boot option and type in 'e" to 
edit the boot line
change the readonly (ro) option to readwrite (rw)
press f10 (I think it is f10) to continue the boot
enter the root password when requested
enter command passwd "username"
enter the desired password
reboot

Then get a live linux cd and boot that.
from a terminal enter command "sudo su" to get root privileges
now as root enter command "mkdir /work"
enter command "fdisk -l" to see you partition layout.  I will assume the 
root partitino is on partition 1 (sda1 or hda1)
enter commadn "mount -t auto /dev/sda1 (or hda1 depends on the live cd) 
/work
enter command "cd /wrok"
enter command "ls -l"  you should see a linux file system layout
enter command "cd etc"

with a test editor vi/vim/nano whatever is on the live cd
enter the command (vim as an example) "vim passwd"
the first entry is the root account, changte the "root:x:" to "root:*:" 
this will remove the password on the root account
also do the same for your user account (scroll down the file) to remove 
its password
save the changes

reboot the computer normally.
You should be able to log into your account without a password

Now create a new password for yourself and root.

This may not be right , I haven't done this in a while.
Correct here.  Just remove the x so it looks like "root::"
