BUGS and other unwanted features ================================ Saving ====== Problem: When saving a directory to a domain which does not have a /samba subdirectory, changing the name in the Save panel will cause the panel to refuse saving. (I.e. you can't click ok). Workaround: You can accept the default name and click ok. This will create the /samba subdirectory. Then use `Save To Domain' to save to a different name. Reopen the old entry and delete it. Problem: If you change the name when saving to a domain which does not have the /samba subdirectory, you will not be able to save anything to that domain anymore. Workaround: You must quit SambaManager and relaunch it. Problem: I've made several changes to the configuration, but when I connect to the server, none of the changes seem to apply. Workaround: This is because the NetInfo in not consulted each time you connect, but only when the daemon starts (and after some specifed perions [approx. 1h]). Disabling and then Enabling the daemons via the Daemon Startup should fix the problem. Passwords ========= Problem: When I type 'smbpasswd' I only get: smbpasswd: Command not found. Workaround: The installation tries to copy the smbpasswd program to either /usr/local/bin or /users/local/bin. If one of these is not on your PATH, then you can't just execute it. You can either copy or (soft)link smbpasswd to a directory which is on your path. For example, if /users/local/bin is on your path and you have installed SambaManger in /LocalAdmin, then ln -s /LocalAdmin/SambaManager.app/smbpasswd /users/local/bin/smbpasswd will do the trick. Note that if you want all your users to set both the unix and Samba password together, you can also do: ln -s /LocalAdmin/SambaManager.app/smbpasswd /users/local/bin/passwd and then make sure that /users/local/bin is searched before /usr/bin. In this case you must make sure that each new user has the appropriate NetInfo extensions after adding the user. (You could use the 'before_creating_user' in UserManager to add the properties with niutil when adding a user on the NetInfo master.) Remote Password =============== Problem: Cannot change the password with the remote password command (from Windows). This is correct. The current Samba tools do not have this option compiled in. (It would require several changes, which are better made in the current release.) Workaround: None. You must change the passwords on the unix host. (As an option, you could set .../SambaManger.app/smbpasswd as the shell and let the users telnet to the unix host for this purpose. Note that you may have to enter .../SambaManger.app/smbpasswd to /etc/shells for this to work.)
