Hello,

I can't create password for my samba users.

Code: Select all

smbpasswd USER
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Failed to find entry for USER
When I try to connect to the server with the user, I get this:

Code: Select all

server:~$ smbclient -L server -U user
Enter user's password:
session request to SERVER failed (Not listening for calling name)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening for calling name)

You need to add that user locually. Try:

Code: Select all

useradd mySmbUser
Then:

Code: Select all

smbpasswd -a mySmbUser
