====smb.conf====
This example comes from a forum post at http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,49238.0.html where a user asks how to enable domain login to SME8 server from Windows 98 workstations,
and is based on advice from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1617097
The SME server template fragments were examined & it was determined that the most suitable for the requirement was /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/smb.conf/11lanmanPasswords
Make a custom template folder
cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/smb.conf/11lanmanPasswords /etc/e-smith/custom-templates/etc/smb.conf/
Edit the template fragment with vi, pico or nano
cd /etc/e-smith/custom-templates/etc/smb.conf
nano 11lanmanPasswords
and change the contents to the following code (in this example the perl code shown will allow parameters to be controlled by db commands rather than hard coding the parameters as text into the fragment)
{
$OUT .= "lanman auth = $smb{'LanManPasswords'}\n" if $smb{'LanManPasswords'};
$OUT .= "client lanman auth = $smb{'ClientLanManPasswords'}\n" if $smb{'ClientLanManPasswords'};
$OUT .= "client plaintext auth = $smb{'ClientPlaintextPasswords'}\n" if $smb{'ClientPlaintextPasswords'};
}
Save & exit from nano
Ctrl c
Ctrl x
Then check & note current settings
config show smb
Then issue
config setprop smb LanManPasswords yes
config setprop smb ClientLanManPasswords yes
config setprop smb ClientPlaintextPasswords yes
Expand template & restart service (both included in the one signal-event command)
signal-event workgroup-update
Then review settings
config show smb
Then manually check /etc/samba/smb.conf to see all changes & settings are present eg
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
Additional steps are required to modify passwords for Windows 98 users, from this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1617097
Re input passwords for every Windows 98 user (where username is the sme user who is logging into any Windows 98 workstation)
smbpasswd -a username
Then every Windows 98 user should log out and then log in again on their Windows 98 workstations (to pick up the changes on the server & allow successful login)
