Hello.
I installed tumbleed as I always do and configured samba as always. I’ve made several configuration attempts and the result is always the same.
After adding the samba user with the command smbpasswd -a xxxx, the next time I restart the system, the system no longer accepts my password. In fact, I think it accepts it but… cuts and returns to the login screen.
Does anyone know anything about the problem? This already happened to me in the image from 14/11 and it is happening in this image from 24/11.
Could it be an bug or are there changes in the way it is configured?
The samba password and Linux user credentials are separate entities, so I’m not sure I fully understand you here. Running smbpasswd -a user should not break your ability to log in to Tumbleweed. Because the login screen accepts the password and then immediately returns to the greeter, this might potentially point to an issue in the PAM (authentication) stack, but not Samba itself.
To start with check the results from grep -R "winbind\|smb" /etc/pam.d and grep '^passwd' /etc/nsswitch.conf (and perhaps grep '^passwd' /usr/etc/nsswitch.conf as well).
