Comment Re:SambaX was buggy and horrible (Score 2) 46

Samba is only configured one way, via the smb.conf file.

Runtime control can be done via smbcontrol, but the base config file is always smb.conf.

When using local uses passwords *must* be separate as the SMB protocol and Linux passwords use completely different crypto.

Of course if you want synchronised passwords just add the Linux machine into the Active Directory Domain using Samba's winbind and users and passwords are identical of course.

This is completely incorrect.

Microsoft do not concern themselves with what SMB versions Samba supports when considering maintenance. At all.

As it should be IMHO. We match current versions of Windows and only keep SMB1 around in an "off-by-default" state for customers who can't or won't update old Windows / DOS clients.
