Well, that was an adventure. I actually wound up installing an even newer
version from software.hp.com, which required that I install LDAP first. But
it still didn't work. After fiddling with it for several hours, we simply
made this change:
password server = DC1,DC2,DC3
Before I simply had DC1 in there, even tried the IP address. Apparently my
server and DC1 don't like each other. Anyway, CIFS is now serving up the
way it is supposed to. No more local smbpasswd file to maintain.

Subject: [HPADM] HP CIFS and smbpasswd file
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!
