yes, smbldap-passwd does the job, but only as root and only on the
machine the samba-server is on. But what to do as a Linux-User that
wants to be able to log in to any windows machine in the network too?
how does he change his password? when he types 'passwd' on the shell of
his Linux machine, the ldap-password on the server is changed, but not
the samba-password and this is my problem.
From the manual page of smbldap-passwd:
| SMBLDAP-PASSWD(8) User Contributed Perl Documentation SMBLDAP-PASSWD(8)
|
| NAME
| smbldap-passwd - change user password
|
| SYNOPSIS
| smbldap-passwd [name]
|
| DESCRIPTION
| smbldap-passwd changes passwords for user accounts. A normal user may
| only change the password for their own account, the super user may
| change the password for any account.
So the "root-only" problem is gone ...
For the "only the machine the samba-server is on" problem,
you have to install (only) smbldap-passwd on other system.
( not verified over here, please report your milage)
Hmm... OpenLDAP has an option to maintain password fields himself... but
I do not remember the required configuration steps for that...
perhaps another one on this list could help...
It is the tools ldappasswd and AFAIK it only updates
the POSIX password ( not the SAMBA password )
what it actually does, it performs EXOP (extended operation) on password
change, not just ldapmodify, and there is a way for OpenLDAP to catch
those requests, look at smbk5pwd.
