Package: samba
Version: 2:3.2.3-1
Severity: normal
During installation of Samba I was presented with the following question:
... If you do not create it, you will have to reconfigure
Samba (and probably your client machines) to use
plaintext passwords ... Create samba password database,
/var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb?
Well, I didn't want to use plain text passwords so I answered "Yes".
I then ran 'pdbedit -L' and saw that all system accounts had been copied
over (e.g. root, www-data, sys, etc). I appreciate that the accounts are
locked still requiring smbpasswd to be run, but I can't really believe
that copying *all* accounts is the correct behaviour. Actually I was a
little alarmed by this.
I asked for advice on #debian and #debian-devel but after no answer felt
it best to submit this report even if it turns out to be wrong (better
safe than sorry), so if you think I've missed the obvious then, by all
means ignore this first part of this bug report with my apologies for my
error.
In addition, the question above also says:
... See /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ENCRYPTION.html from
the samba-doc package for more details. ...
But:
penne# dpkg -l samba-doc | grep samba-doc
ii samba-doc 2:3.2.3-1 Samba
documentation
penne# dpkg -L samba-doc | grep ENCR
penne#
If you need more info then please let me know.
