We have a Linux PDC running RH7.2 and W2K workstations. We are having issues with users changing there passwords from there Win2K workstations. They change there password but when they try to log back on they cannot logon because it says there username or password is incorrect. But when we try the new password on the Linux server (logging on to the server locally) it works just fine.
I would think that this has something to do with the Samba configuration. It seems like the samba password file cannot save passwords that are over a certain character limit or has special characters. It is changing the password in the shadow file. We are thinking that this has something to do with either too long of a password or the special characters they use. If they change there password to something simple like joe123456 everything works fine. We are big on security and we like our users to use 14 characters with at least one special character and number. The following password did not work when changed thru the workstation. t1@503karenoc5 This is only 14 characters and has one special character. When I logged off and logged back on it did not work. But I then logged on the server locally with the new password and it worked fine. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
