Hi, everybody. Probably some of you have got Ted Mittelstaedt's excellent book, The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide. I was wondering if Ted and others could resolve this question, as I am working tonight on getting encrypted passwords to work on my FreeBSD 4.3 system. On page 246 of his book, 1/2 way down, this quote: "For various reasons the precompiled Samba software distributed with FreeBSD has encryption disabled by default. To support encryption, the Samba server must be recompiled, which is one reason I recommend downloading the latest version of Samba and compiling it." My system is FreeBSD, 4.3-BETA, cvsup-ed two weeks ago. The samba version is 2.0.7, obtained from the latest sources on the ftp.freebsd.org server. Ted, is your statement true under these circumstances? Mailing Group: what procedure did you follow to get encrypted passwords working on your FreeBSD recent systems? Do I have to use the /usr/local/bin/convert_smbpasswd binary? Cheers, Forrest To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
