Martin, Timbba: that confirms my hypothesis. This is not really a bug, it's a feature enabled by default that you should disable in your use case.
Uninstalling libpam-smbpass will remove the password synchronization that occurs every time you log in: sudo apt-get remove libpam-smbpass This recurring problem should then disappear. I'll mark the bug as "Invalid", please set it back to "Confirmed" if that does not fix the symptoms you're experiencing. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- samba server requires smbpasswd -a user constantly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
