[Bug 566560] [NEW] samba server requires smbpasswd -a user constantly

[Martin Waldenvik]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

I installed an ubuntu server edition (lucid beta, lastest updates
applied)  for my nas and used my old smb.conf from gentoo, used it for
years in different setups and different distributions. What happens is
that i cannot connect from my windows7 machine. When i do: sudo
smbpasswd -a user it works for a while. But later i have to do it all
over again.

dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Source} ${Status}\n' | grep
