i deleted teh secrests.tdb  and rebooted

 

does nothing this error is there even when the smb  is disabled...  i  dunno what to do

 

 

i found a way to delete the that error...  but unable to get Samba shares to share..

i found that the secrets.tdb file was on the flash drive  so what i did was i deleted it on the flash drive then hit the reset button on the unraid box...  and that fixed that error.. but i still unable to access the unraid box  to access the shares even when its enabled to share so what be wrong?

 

 

i think i fix it... the shares  all were set to no for some reason when they used to be yes...  did the secrets.tdb do that? what does the secrets actual do?

Check to see if the file   smbpasswd   exists in the   /config    folder on your flash drive and that you can open it with a text editor.  (That file is plain text and it should look normal with standard text characters.)   Then have a look at the files in the directory that are being flagged by using the following command in the GUI terminal

 

root@Elsie1:~# cd /var/lib/samba/private
root@Elsie1:/var/lib/samba/private# ls -al
total 436
drwx------ 3 root root    120 Dec  2 17:28 ./
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root    220 Dec  7 11:24 ../
drwx------ 2 root root    280 Dec 13 12:27 msg.sock/
-rw------- 1 root root   8888 Dec  7 11:24 netlogon_creds_cli.tdb
-rw------- 1 root root 430080 Dec  7 11:24 secrets.tdb
-rw------- 1 root root    312 Dec  2 17:28 smbpasswd

 

The contents of smbpasswd should be the same as on the boot drive.   (On both of my servers, the two  .tdb   files are the same size on both servers.  I don't know if this is always true or not...)

 

This is screenshot of the contents of smbpasswd file:
