Problems with smbpasswd

[Doll, Margaret Ann]

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)

Yesterday I had samba running well with four users. The smb.conf was
changed early this morning and the samba users are no longer defined.

smbpasswd no longer adds users to /etc/samba/smbpasswd.

outtakes from my smb.conf file

# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards
# passdb backend = tdbsam
smb passwd file = /etc/smaba/smbpasswd
# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards
# Use password server option only with security = server or if you can't
# password server = My_PDC_Name [My_BDC_Name] [My_Next_BDC_Name]
# password server = *
; passdb backend = tdbsam
; password server = <NT-Server-Name>
# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards
; passdb backend = tdbsam
# Cups Options let you pass the cups libs custom options, setting it to raw

No smbpasswd is in /etc/samba.

If I touch /etc/samba/smbpasswd and try to add an account again, nothing is
written to smbpasswd. The account I am trying to add worked yesterday and
is contained in /etc/passwd.

I have reinstalled samba and samba-common.

What should I try next?

I'm not a heavy samba user but this excerpt from your smb.conf looks like a typo:

smb passwd file = /etc/smaba/smbpasswd

The mistake was mine.

However, after correcting the file name and restarting smb, the addition of
accounts still does not work.

Thanks for spotting the typo.

Please don't top post.

And is there any chance that the firewall's been modified, and the samba
ports aren't open?

Or... *bleah* selinux issues?
