Our Samba is working perfect except that when a users NT password expires and the user changes it they can't access the share anymore from Windows NT explorer. At the moment i have to log on to our unix system and change the unix and samba passwords manually to match the new NT password. I've been looking through all the websites on Samba but nothing has helped. I've done all sorts of amendments to the smb.conf file (including setting encrypt passwords = yes, security = user and update encryted = yes). Should the unix and samba passwords be automatically updated or i'm i trying to do something that you can't do. We're using NT4 and Unix (Sun Solaris 8). The Samba version is 2.0.5a. I'm implementing a way around this by allowing the users to log into the unix system to change their Unix/Samba passwords. I've amended their .profile to include commands "passwd" and "/usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd" (and "exit" to log them out after).
