CentOS 6 Samba 4 Specific Question

I am setting up a Samba 4 installation on CentOS 6.9. I have installed the samba4, samba4-common, and samba4-libs with all of the dependencies using YUM which appear to be all of the samba4 packages which are available.

In the /usr/bin directory I can find smbcontrol and smbstatus but the smbpasswd command is missing. Checking on a current CentOS 7 all three of these commands are found. Of course with this command missing it’s quite hard to set up standard Samba users in the .tdb file used in the Classic mode.

Can someone enlighten me as to what I have done wrong?

Best regards, Fred

  • Hi,

    It looks this should be provided by samba4-client, what result do you get if you run

    yum provides ‘/usr/bin/smbpasswd’ ?
