If you want change client password from Windows 2000, you must add line in smb.conf :
unix password sync = yes pam password change = yes passwd program = /etc/passwd %u passwd chat = New*UNIX*Password* %n\n *ReType*New*UNIX*Password* %n\n \ *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* passwd chat debug = yes --jmz-- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sergio Belkin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, 07 May 2004 10:33 AM Subject: [Samba] problem changing the password as non-root user I set the following in smb.conf: encrypt passwords = true unix password sync = true As says smb.conf # This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix # password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the # passdb is changed. 1) Always I had understood if I change the smb passwd, the unix passwoed in /etc/passwd did too. However this does not happen. �Am I understanding right that comment? If that is the case, so, I don't understand the usability of 'password sync'� 2) Also, when I try to change the smb password as non-root user, I can't do it, and the following message appear: "machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified password is invalid. Failed to change password for sergio" Why? I searched in google, but I don't understand exactly if that is a problem of SAmba 3.x (As root, I can change the password) 3. Finally a question more: How would I do from WIndows if an user change his password and automagically change in Linux too? Must I compose a script for his connect with samba server?
