Problem: At newer Linux Setups with Samba 3 by default smbpasswd changes the user unix login password and samba share password.
For higher security i prefer different passwords like on debian SARGE
Solution:
- edit as root /etc/samba/smb.conf
- enter
unix password sync = no
(Yes=default) - restart samba
/etc/init.d/samba restart
- set new different passwords for a user with
passwd
andsmbpasswd
- check passwords..working
