    The 2.2.8a version won't work when using an older smb.conf file, denying
    access, and in the logs I see references to "can't find
    /var/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd file". So, little reading shows that in
    order to use POSIX ACL's, you have to use this file in the newer versions of
    Samba. I don't really care about POSIX ACL's, I just want this to work the
    way it used to, validating users based on either the Unix or the Windows
    account.
     
    I did manage to get access, but I had to create the smbpasswd file and then
    manually change my password using the executable "smbpasswd". This isn't
    going to work for the environment I have. Short of installing an older
    version of CIFS, is there a way to make the new one validate users the way
    it used to, and not use this "smbpasswd" stuff? Thanks!
