changed netbios name and home folders unaccessible

[koczol]

Dear EBOX experts,

I have changed the ebox server name, and users home directory become unaccessible. Password is required, but no password is accepted. When I changed the name back to original, everything worked again.

What is the way of changing server name (netbios)?

Thanx.

Hi!

Which mode were you using FIle server or PDC?

Hi Javi,

File server

Sounds like the info is still in the tdb files.

Try this:

1) Stop Samba

2) mv /var/cache/samba/*.tdb{,.old}

3) Start samba

4) Change the netbios name.

5) Try browsing the new machine name.

Good luck.

Can you try add a new user and check if it can access a share?

apt-cache policy ebox-samba

Hi Javi,

I am not able to access my home folder. Tried the steps a few times but same result.

Anyway the output:
installed : 0.12.99
candidate : 0.12.99

How do I update to 0.12.100?

regards,
Masmi
