Charming, aren't they ;-) I build my samba with: #!/bin/sh LIBS="-lcrack" CFLAGS="-g" ./configure --with-utmp --with-pam --with-quotas --with-tdbsam --with-ldapsam --with-syslog And use the attached patch to enforce 'cracklib' strength passwords. We can't include this directly in Samba, as cracklib is not under a GPL-compatible licence :-( Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Authentication Subsystems, Samba Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student Network Administrator, Hawker College [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://samba.org http://build.samba.org http://hawkerc.net
